your sentences are also correct but you are using the verb in a diiferent form. Your sentence is using the passive past participle of the verb to mean "I am (a person) that is worried" instead of using the active form of the verb

As Merlyn says, they are close in meaning. If there were a small shade of difference, it would be that "I worry about" sounds a bit more serious and long term than "I am worried about". e.g. I worry about my brother. He hasn't worked for 5 years.
