From what I gathered online, she's a Jem'Hadar-Klingon hybrid somehow. They don't even read their own lore. They just saw the male Jem'Hadar design, and decided, well time to subvert it.
I thought the Jem'Hadar were all test tube male soldiers. Do they have tackle to hump a Klingon?
They are, because they are bred for 2 reasons.
Fight for the Founders.
Die for the Founders.
That's it. Which means breeding the strongest option possible with unquestioning loyalty that won't let emotions get in the way. Which in the case of placental mammals like everything ends up being in Star Trek for reasons means males.
Human males are 30% larger than human females and since all the aliens are just humans in makeup, or CGI, that means alien males are also typically larger than the females.
But the same is true of many reptiles which the Jem'Hadar look to be more similar to.
About the only exceptions to this rule are arthropods because the females are quite literally leg laying machines while the males are little else than genetic material providers. If you want to see just how extreme this can be look up the size differences in golden orb weaver spiders or other arachnids.. The males are a fraction of the female in size.
Do they have tackle at all? And isn't their life span measured single digits?
No. They're clones just like the Vorta and as such don't need sexual organs. The Founders were already shown as not bothering to give the Vorta very good eyesight because they didn't need it. So giving them, or the Jem'Hadar, sex organs would be a few steps beyond redundant at that stage.
Yeah they are fast growing genetic weapons. I'm trying to remember DS9 but I think the oldest was like 5 years old
Oldest was at least 20.

No. Nor sexual desire.
New trek is puerile slop to be ignored
It was shown repeatedly that Jem'Hadar stripped down to their base desires would do little other than fight. That was it. They were literally designed to fight above all else and are generally only kept in line by an intentional metabolic deficiency which the Ketracel White provides.
Jem'Hadar "downtime" was combat training against prisoners. Or other Jem'Hadar. They didn't eat, they didn't sleep, they didn't have sex. These were all literally spelled out in DS9 multiple times and yet this new shitshow yet again decides to shit all over decades of lore because new thing must be unique and shiny and have grrlboss characters with mysterious backgrounds to create drama and still be the bestest person in the room.
The franchise pillaging fatigue is real.
