Your BMI is 18.5, which falls at the bottom end of the healthy weight range. Anything under 18.5 is classed as underweight. The BMI scale is a bit flawed, as it doesn't take into account your build, only height and weight. As you are near the underweight category, I would speak to your doctor or nurse, just to check that everything is well. I suspect you are just a petite person and have nothing to worry about, but would get it checked out. Especially if you have any other symptoms, such as lack of periods or fatigue. Hope everything works out well.

yep
for girls you can get a good estimate on the correct weight like this:
5 feet tall - 100 pounds, give or take 5 pounds
and for each inch add 5 pounds....
so 5 feet and 5 inches would be 125 pounds, give or take 5 pounds

it's really not about how much you weigh but how you look - I am 5'8" tall and I weigh 225 pounds - every chart in the world would say I'm obese or overweight - I am 13 percent body fat, I have a 48 inch chest and a 36 inch waist - I'm not perfect but I look good for ME - it's really about looking your best, weight is very overrated -

I would say you're probably underweight for your height, but check with your doctor, who can give you the "normal" range of weights for your height and age.
