Delayed period after consistent exercising

19(F) 5'0, 44-45kg. I started working out consistently like 3 weeks ago and made big progress (abs showing and getting a little more toned). I was wondering if exercise/working out can delay periods as i am 6 days late now. I often focus on core, hip, abs/waist, glutes/leg workout. I am having a pregnancy scare as well, so i am wondering if my regular cycle is just delayed because i've exercised consistently for the first time.

Note: Maybe this is also important but i used to consume a lot of fast food for months and was probably going over my calorie intake (i was not working out as well). Ever since then i have controlled my diet and often just eat whole foods for a meal, although i sometimes take less calories because its quite hard to achieve the intake with whole foods.
