You seem to be at a pretty good weight, dont worry about it
You probably just have a fast metabolism

Body mass index (BMI) or Quetelet Index is a statistical measure of the weight of a person scaled according to height.
The BMI on wikipedia indicates "underweight, normal, over weight and obese" based on height and weight.
Short people tend to be lower BMI so you probably aren't (no offence about your height) - refer to the below site to fully understand your BMI.
55K is light and just outside the BMI, but other factors should also be taken into account as the site below explains.
You are bording just on underweight / normal weight cross over .

No your wieght is fine. Look up BMI,on a search engine & put your info in & that will tell you what your BMI is. I think I looked up mine on msn which has good health info & BMI calculator. And the person above who says you should be 145lbs isn't correct.

Yes you are. A good weight for you would be 145-155 pounds.
