Likely hormonal: Late, long and irregular at your age usually is caused by hormone variation--often due to stress-though there are many other possibilities. Usually annoying but not serious

Irregular menses: Reasons for irregularity include weight gain or loss, breastfeeding, alcohol use, eating disorders, marked emotional stress, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cervical polyps, polycystic ovarian syndrome, excessive exercise & pregnancy. When a girl has just started menstruating & around the time of menopause periods can be irregular.
