I Am Wondering If My Lifestyle Is Considered Sedentary And

I am wondering if my lifestyle is considered sedentary and I'm having a hard time fitting my specific habits into a box so I thought I would ask. I am 34 years old with a healthy BMI and no health issues. I have a "desk job" but I use a standing desk and I stand for 90% of my 9 hour work day. On my breaks, I walk up and down the stairs at my job (this equates to aprox 125 flights of stairs per day and takes about 30 minutes cumulatively or 3 10 minute sessions). It's a pretty good cardio! But that's all I do. When I get home from work, I do a few more small leg workouts but then I basically crawl into bed and don't do much. Weekends are completely sedentary. I don't eat a lot of meat or processed foods and my diet is for the most part fresh, local, and organic. I don't drink or smoke. Can I feel good about the physical level of activity I'm currently engaged in?
