MacOS has taken 26 GB of my storage and System data has taken 40 GB of my MacBook storage, and mail has taken 20 GB of my MacBook storage. I had no games and videos or big files saved in Mac but getting no space
Could you advise that what I should do to free some storage of my MacBook

I got no space for any updates and I have 20GB basic applications downloaded like Microsoft packages. So system data, MacOS, mail taken around 90GB of total 128GB.
But it makes sense if you say that’s normal though
Your totals are normal, but you will need extra help to run with only 128 GB of storage.
You will have to use Apple menu > About this Mac > Storage > Manage and be aggressive about deleting files. You may need to purchase an external hard drive to archive old files. You might also have to purchase iCloud and aggressively use every iCloud option to move more of your data into the cloud.

Only 40 GB? That's extraordinary! Most people having trouble with this are trying to recover 2-300 GB of storage.
What you are describing sounds normal and 10 times better than what some people experience.

I'd start by deleting items off of your drive; probably starting with mail.
The funny thing is that I don’t use mail and not any mail account login on my MacBook Pro. Tried to uninstall mail app but doesn’t work
