Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
I know it may be perplexing to have a late period. But it is not because of pregnancy, as you thought, for the reasons you mentioned.
It is common for periods to be late or irregular and is not necessarily due to any serious issue.
As you said, it could be due to illness or a change in diet. It could also be due to stress, medication, dramatic changes in sleeping habits etc.
If you start to have severe symptoms however such as severe cramping, fever or nausea, see a doctor.
Below I pasted a link to a HER article which describes more reasons for late periods:

I hope that helps.
