Dysphoria just means that you're experiencing a lot of distress about your body's sexual characteristics or gender. I felt like that for a long time before I figured out an identity that felt right to me. It was helpful for me to separate how I felt about my body and gender identity, from gender expression or how I wanted to present myself. You can have any identity and still present in a girly way.

Do you feel that way about your girl parts all the time, or does it get worse at times and better at others? You might be fluid, or maybe gender neutral, or gray-gender, or even neutrois. And you don't have to figure it out right away.

Being asexual might possibly make you feel uncomfortable about your body, but not necessarily. Sexuality doesn't have to be tied to gender identity either. Give yourself the time and space to investigate what the various labels are and try them on to see how they feel.
