I would say you are slightly underweight yes,
But as long as you're eating properly and you're not missing meals then you probably just naturally have a slim frame which isn't anything to worry about, i would suggest you to work out your BMI though as that can be more useful to know but as i said as long as you feel fine and you're not skipping meals and you're eating properly then its nothing to worry about
Yes, you are a little underweight. Does it bother you?
Yeah a little, it would of preferred to be in normal range :/
Yeah i am but im not sure exactly what im going to do about it because i have no idea why im underweight in the first place lol i thought i was just average weight but i guess not :/
I wouldn't say its underweight i would say its slightly below normal but not fully underweight, as people have said it might just be because you have naturally small frame in which case it might be "underweight" in medical terms but it shouldn't be anything to worry about as long as you're eating well, how many calories do you have a day if you don't mind me asking?
I have worked out your BMI (Body Mass) from your height and weight and your BMI level is 18.7
Underweight - <18.5
Normal weight - 18.5 - 24.9
So you're a normal weight for your height and your BMI is fine too so nothing to worry about :-)

If it isn't underweight it is on the low side of normal
