Not too low: Your creatinine level is fine. Women have lower levels than men and less muscular people, including women have lower levels, Vegetarians have lower levels than meat eaters. So a combination of these things could result in the level of creatinine you have, It means that your kidneys are working well.

That's fine: Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthies fall a little bit outside.
