I have had this teapot about 3 months and in this last month it has been in constant use and yesterday these stains appeared, is it rust? Should I throw away the kettle or can it be saved?

Could be rust or some minerals that ended up on the bottom. Try boiling a mix of vinegar and water and see if it wipes off after. I'd keep using it anyways though, nothing to worry about.
