My cat is about 1 year old and hasn't been in heat since the end of June. She's been in heat plenty of times before and there's no way she could be pregnant as she's never been outside. Should I be worried? She acts completely normal. I'm so worried about her.

Cats go into heat seasonally. They may go into heat several times during the season
cat estrus cycle is pretty definitive once a season, but oftentimes it is more than that. But if she's going into heat at least 4 times a year it's probably not a concern.
As she ages her cycle will change and regulate, also I presume the presence of opportunities to mate (IE tomcats hanging around) might create in her the need to go into estrus more than if she's by herself and no other cats around
of course if you 're concerned you can always take her to a vet
To be safe, call the vet and see if you can get her seen. We can guess till the kitties come home, but the experts can tell you what is going on. If she gets a clean bill of health you will have piece of mind. It's not too late to spay. There are plenty of low cost options in most towns. That way there would be no worries! Prayers for your fluffy girl. Let me know what the vet says!
If you do not plan to mate your cat it would be a lot better for you and for her to have her spayed. Going through this process should make you and her feel better.
Here is a site that explains about cats going into heat but better to talk to her vet.

Also, you do not mention about taking her to a vet for her shots/vaccines and this is very important - not too late to start.

Spaying your girl can save her from many illnesses later that are caused by coming into heat on a regular basis. Mammary cancer is one of them. Cats that are spayed have a much lower incidence.
