because you probably are very muscular and muscle is more dense than fat. (about 30% more dense than fat)

I'm exactly the same. I'm taller than you though but tonight my uncle said I'm skinny. I don't get it though because I think I'm fat. But remember muscle weighs more than fat, also maybe you are really good at choosing the flattering clothes.
Have a wonderful day!

Either you have a dense bone structure or you have a lot of lean body mass which weights more than fat. If you body fat % is low and you look great weight is not a problem.

I think it's because your bones are havier... cause some people have light bones and some heavy...
Besides, i know a lot of people that are super thin but they weigh a lot...i think that explains everything..

everybody carries their weight differently. It depends on your height, muscle mass etc.
two women can weigh the same and yet wear different sizes...
if you feel good about yourself....you're good to go!

Don't worry about your weight. Just look in the mirror and if you think you look good, you're fine. Scales just drive people crazy.
