Is this just a little underweight or should I seek professional help? Would I be considered anorexic?

Sweetie, it's so hard to tell if you have a small frame it's cutting it close, maybe. By asking other people, you open yourself up to comparisons with them--people will say, "I'm five five and I weigh twenty pounds..." and this may not be the healthiest way of figuring it out. In fact, it absolutely not what you want to do. You need to feel comfortable in your body, you need to feed it so you can live and be healthy.
At the risk of sounding like your parent, you have a long life ahead of you and your body needs to carry you all the way through to your old age, at which time you will probably still look like a young woman because of all the inroads being made in cosmetic surgery, etc. So, take care of the body, including your organs and brain. These need good healthy food, every day.
Here is a self test, though, online, to help you to figure out if you have an eating disorder.

If your eating regular meals then you wouldn't be anorexic. I'm 42 and have been underweight all my life, and I just found out last year I have an over active thriod. I'm taking meds for it now and putting on a little weight. But make sure you eat right, and not alot of fatty foods, and excerise. Good luck.

It is underweight. The average weight for somebody of 5'3" is about 110-125. If you eat, you cannot be technically considered anorexic, though some people might think you are.

I think you are underweight. I think you should NOT talk to a professional. That will cost extra money, when you could just simply add a little extra fat to your diet. I think the appropriate weight for you should be about 110 or so.
Good luck!

I am the same way. I am 20 years old and only way 116 pounds. But what i do is eat right and have 3 square meals a day. You probaly have high metabolism that means you burn alot of energy. I wouldn't worry. You are still young for your age.
