for 1, to make it natural, you can say “i ate a little while ago” or “i ate a few minutes ago”
for 2, it’s more natural to say “i’m eating right now”
for 3, “ i ate a lot “ can be used for any amount of time after eating. in the sentence, “a lot” refers to the amount of food you’re eating. so when you say “i ate a lot”, it means you ate a big amount of food.
