Yes. Since you did not live in the house (as your primary residence) for 2 out of the 5 years prior to sale, you may not exclude the capital gain form the sale.
Your income is low enough to put most of the gain in the 0% long term capital gain tax rate. But the gain is still considered part of your gross income and this means that up to 85% of your social security benefits will become taxable.
In addition, you will have to report depreciation recapture as income. Depreciation recapture is taxed at ordinary income tax rates.
