Fairly certain that’s a female. Indian stars don’t get as large as Burmese stars and are generally easier to sex then Burmese stars. I breed Indian stars. My adult full grown male is 600g. So you can usually sex them around half that size. Look out for flashing when you soak it.

An adult full grown Indian male only gets to be between 350-750g. Sri Lankan stars get about 2-3 times the size of Indians.
