my body thinks I'm a generational athlete or something, I eat like a pig but it all goes into muscles and energy, so now I'm 52kg but hey if you need someone to run for an hour straight I'm your girl...

Try getting into biking. I burn 1500-2000 calories (I'm not a small dude) in like 2 hours of road cycling. It's relatively easy on the body compared to running as a bonus.

Oh also another thing to check is weather your fitness tracker is reporting active calories or total calories burned. If it is the second one it’s giving you a feel-good number that includes calories you would have burned just by sitting on the couch staying alive. If your fitness tracker isn’t calculating a BMR you can estimate your Base Metabolic Rate fairly accurately with a calculator like this one.
