Hi. I think it's understandable that your mum can be a little overprotective, especially because you're the only girl in your family, and you lost your dad at such a young age. However it is definitely important to think of your own needs. I think it would be good to have a talk with her and let her know you're ready to be seen as an adult and have a little more space. But do remember to be understanding and sensitive about it - it can be hard for parents to accept that their children want to grow up so soon.
