Not at all true. Why would US statue call “all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and under 45” the militia of the US if it isn’t a militia?

This really is settled law. The Second Amendment is an individual right “of the people”, just like every other right “of the people”. I don’t know why anyone would still try to argue otherwise.
You are referring to a federal militia act. The details of that Congressional prescription would be in State militia acts.
