The first thing I want to tell you is that this is not an uncommon issue, especially at your age.
Did you feel this way before you were taking antidepressants? Sexual difficulties including low libido and trouble with orgasm are common side effects of many antidepressants. If you think this might be part of the problem, I suggest you talk to your prescribing provider.
Another possibility is position. Many women cannot have an orgasm in the "missionary" position. It just doesn't hit the right parts of the anatomy for them. You might consider experimenting with different positions, for instance with you on top, to see if that helps.
Some people just don't have the high sex drive that others have. Everyone is different. Some want sex several times a day, some people are happy with once a year. Have you ever had a strong sex drive?
We get a lot of discussion on sex here on the site. Reading what other people have said may help you: https://www.empowher.com/condition/sexual-well-being.
Good luck and if you want to discuss this further, please let us know.
