Body odor?

I am 16 years old, female and I am concerned about my body odor. I noticed that my underarm smells different so I wash it every time it smells and put lime juice on it. It stopped smelling for like an hour, but when it’s sweating it smells bad again and I hate the smell of it, then it happens that I had to fart, then I discovered that my fart smells the same with my armpit. What must be the problem?

It may be the food/spices you are eating? Onions, garlic, curry, some medications can increase body odor as well as hormones in puberty
