I have an IQ of 126. Is it low, because a chart says that it is only classified as "Above Average?" Also, is a 4 IQ difference great, because, if I get 4 IQ higher, then I am "Gifted." Is it a big difference?

A 126 is a solid IQ score if it was taken in person, if taken on the internet it is probably average. A 4 point difference is negligable at best, your score will vary by more than 4 points from test to test. If you want a realistic score then you need to have yourself tested by a professional. I can tell you from my experience that online scores can be as much as 20-40 points higher than a real life, in person test. Online scores are not reliable in the least.
To make sure I answered, 126 is a good IQ score and is not low if it was taken by a professional. Online is questionable, I have seen and experienced a great difference in online scores and 'real' scores. A 4 point difference is almost meaningless, if you take another test you will likely have a variance of at least 4 points.

Well, I dont think there is so much a difference in 4 IQ points, but can certaintly achive your goal of 130, if thats your question, I know this because the first time I took an IQ test i got an average score of 109, when i was nine years old, then when i was in fifth grade, i took it again and got a high average of 118.

No. Because a normal IQ standing of an average person is 110. 126 is in above average level. It means that your not an average person.
