doesn't it mean I wonder how you've been in the last few months? or how are/were you doing in the last few months? or am I wrong?

It can refer to a shorter time scale - since you last met the person - even if only a week ago. A more usual expression would be "I was wondering how you've been"
PS 'chose' in your write-up should probably be 'choose' - present tense :-)

It would most likely mean "since the last time I spoke to you" or "since the last time I saw you". It makes no real difference if the time period has been quite long (a few months) or a few days.
In one of the options you gave - "how are you doing in the last few months" - there is an error in verb tense. The reference is from a period of time that started in the past, so the simple present tense is not grammatically possible.

It could also mean how you've been since the last time I saw you or heard from you. How you've been I understand it covers a period of time it could be short or long. The person wants to know what's going on in your life lately. No just now

You got me confused now.
Surely it means 'how have you been lately'.
