If you want a scientific answer, go to the website I've posted. You can type in your height and weight and it will give you your Body Mass Index - essentially, how much of your body is made of fat.
Your measurements come to 19.6 which is well within the healthy range (less than 18.5 is underweight)
The most important thing is not what you weigh, but the nutrients you're taking in. Skinny people can eat nothing but junk food and may not gain weight, but won't have the same nutrition as people with a few more pounds who are eating better foods.

Your fine... I agree with your friends mom... Moms tend to like their children a little plump to know they are not going to be anorexic which is what most parents fear about a young daughter.

If you can't see your bones you're fine. My mother sent me to the doc when I was 14-15 cuz she thought I was too skinny being 5'6" 110 and the doctor said I was just fine.

I think that any girl who is so skinny that her hormones are so low that she is pretty much built like a boy,or does not not have proper periods, is to skinny.

My mom always says you can't trust a woman if her thighs don't touch!!! But seriously, as long as you feel good, that is all that matters.

too skinny is when you can see bones especially on your back.
Women are supposed to have some curves (boobs are also part breast tissue and part fat).

The best way to know, is to check your BMI, if it is lower than 18.5 then you are underweight.
And with your height and weight your BMI is 19.6, and very normal.
