No, if you were discharged, you are no longer active duty.
A military discharge is given when a member of the armed forces is released from their obligation to serve. Therefore, you are no longer an active duty member.
Individuals who voluntarily separate from active duty with fewer than eight years service will normally fulfill the balance of their term in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). However, they are still not active duty.
You may qualify as a veteran, and that may provide some additional benefits.
"The IRS defines a veteran as a former US service member who served on active duty for at least 24 months and who wasn't dishonorably discharged. When it comes time to file your taxes, remember that as a veteran, tax benefits may be available to you, your spouse, your children, and your parents."
