No worry: both fasting and exercise can cause you to alter the pituitary-hypothalamic-ovarian axis timing and delay menses. will likely right itself next month or two.

Relax: You are definitely not pregnant since you are a virgin. Prolonged fasting and weight loss may cause changes in your metabolism leading to delay in your menstrual period. Worrying about it might delay things even further so relax and make sure you keep yourself well hydrated.
