it's just too young to tell (guess: female),you have to wait another 6-7 months to know.

It looks like a male but its too early to tell, you'll have to wait a few months or so

If you don't have one, it could be a good idea to purchase a small gram scale to weigh your tortoise. Often times a small fluctuation or trend in weight gain or loss can tell us a lot about our animals that we may not notice in the eye test.
