I feel so damn fat. I used to be pretty much anorexic, had a bad stress fracture, worked a lot on strength and now I’m more muscular . I’m running again now and I just feel fat as hell. But it’s hard to tell how much is real and how much is dysmorphia. I don’t look bad standing up but when I sit down I can grab fat around midsection. Any tips ?

I would recommend to stop grabbing it.

That's true for humans. It's true for super-skinny elite runners.
(Maybe it's not true for magazine cover models during the week of their photoshoot when they don't eat, but it's true for them the rest of the time. Magazine cover models aren't known for running fast.)
Just use your fitness/performance to judge. Hint: If you lose weight, get weaker, and get injured then you're not going to be very fit.
Professional help. If you've had anorexia you should seek help from someone who knows what they are doing. You don't want to take an idea that is suggested and run with it only for it to end up a triggering behaviour for you.
You probably are.
