My tegu is probably about the same age and I couldn't tell by looking for that. The way I found out mine was male is be looking at him when he went to the bathroom. If there are 2 things that stick out for a second then go back in its a male. Hope this helps.

Feel on either side of the hole where it goes to the bathroom the male has two lil hard knots the female does not have its like little horns under the skin i think for mating also the boys will develop lil skin flaps at their cheeks that will develop their chubby cheeks about a yr old that girls dont have

Super hard to tell at this age. It's just not clear if there are male bumps to the side and slightly below the cloaca. Your second picture barely shows enough of that area, and the first picture is pretty dark. I would guess female right now only because there's no evidence of bumps or oversized round scales right now. But - the pics aren't exposing the area of his/her cloaca clearly. Just my dumb opinion!
