At ~12% bf it’s probably not actual fat more likely to just be water retention or just your own perception. Face looking “bloated” day to day usually comes from sodium/carb swings, poor sleep, stress, or certain foods (a lot of people can get puffy from gluten/dairy).

Also, lighting/angles play a huge role If you wake up leaner and get puffier later, that’s water, not fat.

You’re probably not doing anything wrong. Just make sure to keep things consistent (diet, sleep, hydration) and it evens out.

Its also possible that you just carry more fat in your buccal pads.

If so, you could get buccal fat removal (surgery), although depending on your age I would advise against it (you may naturally lean out in the face as you age into your late teens, twenties). And you could look gaunt if done too early.
