go to this site and calculate your body mass index, that will give you a better idea of how underweight you are and has links to other sites with ideas on how to improve.

You are def under weight, you should weight anywhere from 129-170 depending on your body structure. you BMI is only 15 which is very underweight for your height.
Eat up for the holidays :) I hope this helped!

you are definately underweight, I recon you should be at least 140lb for your height. Even someone who's height is 5'3 would be underweight at 103lb. You are talking about under 7 and half stone here!

why try to gain?
do you feel well? are you eating good quality food? do you exercise? are you energetic? if the answer to any of these questions is 'yes' then you sound fine.
we are all different, some are naturally slight and others are well built. most inhabitants of the western world eat too much, even if they are slim, and most in the third world will never have enough. the one thing the underfed never worry about is whether they are the correct size for their height!
count your blessings and stop worrying.

Well if i go by my girlfriends weight she is 5'5" and weighs about
127lbs. She works out and runs and has a very nice body. You should probably be at most 10lbs more then her.

you should be about 120. You'd still be slim at this weight but just with more of a figure.

I would say maybe at least 120 just to be in the healthy range
