Judge your weight based on your body mass index (BMI). Your BMI is 22.3 which is perfectly normal, just as your friends say, neither too fat nor too skinny.
Your real issue is that you have a poor self image. You said it yourself, you hate your body. Learning to be happy with who you are, and not trying to starve yourself to achieve some arbitrary goal of beauty, is what you should focus on.
I assure you, with a BMI of 22.3 you are plenty thin. I'm sure you are also quite beautiful. Focus on your positives and not the negative.
Now, a moderate degree of exercise and eating enough fruits and vegetables may help you feel better in general and may help you feel better about yourself. But, remember, you have value for who you are, not how you look.

Hello,
before even thinking whether you are too plumpy or not, you need to assess your body frame.
Your BMI is 22.3. If your body frame is small, then you might be too plumpy but if your body frame is large then you might be just about right.
I know you technically are petite because you are 5' 4" tall *however* the petite look happens because of the body frame, which can not be changed.
Therefore, if your body frame isn't small, there is no point in trying to look skinny and petite because even if you lose weight you will not look petite (albeit skinnier).
You might try to accept your body for its best features and make the best out of them.
Good luck!
PS I like Zhang Ziyi too :)

You are in shape and health, if you have BMI<25.
Body Mass Index=weight(kg) / height(m2)
good luck

Find a person who appreciates You for YOU-!
Many guys (including myself) really don't 'care-for' the 'skinny-type/s' of women,....
Please, just 'be-Yourself' and WAIT.... is my advice.
