That is a perfect weight for someone your height. According to Doctors and Body mass index charts.
Your BMI would be 21.9 and an average adult your hieght should have a BMI between 18.5-24.9. But there are limitations to BMI. But you don't have anything to worry about you are perfect.

Actually that is a very good size, and I hope that you are not aiming for anorexic model slim. You are fine just as you are.

Yes, that's fine - it's a healthy BMI (Body Mass Index) to have. It probably means that she's curvy without being in any way overweight.
