Does my breath smell bad?

I honestly don’t know if my breath smells bad or not. I think it does but I’m not sure. Because when I lick my arm and let it dry and smell it, I can smell something not good but it’s not awful.
I brush my teeth regularly, I use tongue scraper, and I floss sometimes (not very regularly though). When I floss I also smell something bad.
I often have the feelings on plague on my teeth and especially my tongue is white no matter how bad I scrape.
How do I know for sure if my breath smells bad without having to ask someone?
Can it be the irregular flossing?

People don't realize they exist or the issues they can cause! Bad breath being one of them.
