HI!
DONT TRY TO LOSE WEIGHT! YOUR AT A HEALTHY SIZE. LOVE THE BODY YOUR IN. DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT SIZE SOCIETY SAYS YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO BE. WE WOULD ALL BE STICKS. YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF FIRST.

I would say that you are perfectly healthy and normal, weight wise. Now there are three basic body types ectomorph, mesomorph, and endomorph. In lamen's terms here's how to identify them. Ectomorphic bodies naturally have low fat due to high metabolism, but it is difficult for them to put on muscle or fat. They can literally eat anything and not gain much weight if any at all. Mesomorphic bodies have a moderate metabolism so they can burn fat and build muscle with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Endomorphic bodies will have a lower metabolism and while it may be easy to build muscle mass it is difficult to not be overweight. So think about where you might fit into, there are varying degrees of each. Also there is a disease called "Body Dismorphic Disorder". This is a mental illness where the patient thinks there body looks comletely different than it actually is. Typically this is linked with anorexia and bulemia. You and I see a super skinny girl, but when she looks in the mirror she sees herself as grossly overweight. Very dangerous disorder.
In the end if you look healthy and feel great than that's all that matters.
If you have more questions look me up.

Yeah! You're weight is fine. If you're insecure about how you look, do some pilates. It really tones you up and make you look a lot more confident. It's relaxing too.
When you do exercise, just remember, muscle weighs more than fat but also burns more calories.

God, how small do you want to be? That is perfect for a 16 year old. Find something else to do with your time and quit worrying.
