i'm slightly taller, and 15lbs lighter, but i've never heard anyone tell me i'm too thin or small to kickbox.
Just go to a gym or find an instructor and see if you can handle it before you try joining tournaments and all that.

Do not worry about your height. You can't do anything about it.
Your weight will take care of itself. It is better to try to gain weight than lose it. You have plenty of time for that later.
Find a good Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, MMA or Vale Tudo gym in the area and start training. Be sure to let the instructor know your plans.
If you don't have any previous experience, you will need to train for about a year before you are ready to enter the ring. Start with amature fights. This will give you experience and not count against your pro record. It takes a lot of work to get into UFC. Start small and work your way up. Everyone has to.
I know that this is probably not what you wanted to hear but it is the truth.

increase your weight.
Kickboxing is a game of PAIN.
If you enjoy pain then join.
There are classes of weight in kickboxing.
You join a gym and know your capacity by have a friending sparing.
Train for a year or two then you can be your own judge if you can make it or not.
As i told you it a game of pain.The legs are mostly the weapon and your kneel.

Why not join a gym. Boxing is seperated by weight class. Go for it and start working out.

Not true do not believe the others height doesn't mean anything considering you'll be in lightweight, just gain some weight thats all Kid Yamamoto is only 5'2 and he is considered one of the best when it comes to pound to pound.
