Some fields are more mathematical “at minimum”, like Aero, EE, and CompSci, but most fields have specialities that “at maximum” require you to essentially be an applied mathematician. Industrial Engineering is often regarded as being comparatively easy at the undergrad level in part because of the minimal math required, but grad-level IE can be very mathematically tough.

At the end of the day, if you like math then engineering should be fine for you provided you ALSO like at least one hard science - most engineering fields emphasize at least one hard science in their practice, and you need to have the grasp of that science to succeed.
