You won’t know if it’s root bound until you remove the pot and look at all of the roots. Repot if there are more roots than soil or the roots are blocking the drainage holes which could lead to root rot.

Leave it alone and check in spring if the roots look fine right now. Spring is a better time to repot, in general, because it’s the start of the growth period.
