I weigh 49 kg and I wish to get thinner, any advice?

Question

I'm 1.55 meters and I'm not fat or anything but I don't feel thin enough either. I just want thinner legs... basically I wanna go back to what I looked like before puberty. I used to weigh only a bit over 30 kg and I was quite thin, now I have more feminine shape but I also gained quite a bit of weight and I'm really unhappy. What bothers me even more is that I only weigh a little more than Ariana Grande but she still looks so much thinner... It's the same case with other girls at school. Is this just my body type? 
Also I want to lose weight but at the same time I'm afraid my chest area will get smaller too if I do and I don't want that either...

You can't spot reduce your body loses weight all over. Some areas do accumulate fat easier than other but overall yor body looses weight pretty easily. Also muscle weights more than fat so even though your the same weight as Ariana she may be more muscle so her body looks slimmer and tigger. Weight and BMI is stupid instead determine by measument. One week I gained 2lvs but lost 2 inches off my waist, I actually gained muscle and shredded fat.
losing weight is extremely simple. Exercise at least three times a week for an hour and eat balanced meals. A proper plate should consist of 1/2 veggies or fruit, 1/4 complex carb (such as brown rice, quinoa or wheat bread, etc), and your protein should be the size of your palm. For exercise I think weight lifting is most effective (don't worry about getting bulky, women lack the necessary hormones to get muscles like men), I think it's more effective because it burns calories long, and build lean muscle which burns calories by just existing. If you want bigger muscles (example, larger butt or arms) then do heavy weighted exercises with low reps (low weight high rep) and if you want smaller leaner muscle do low weights high rep (this basically toned preexisting muscle. And add about 20mins of cardio of your choice. This is what I find most affective but great at home workouts like blogilates or tone it up on YouTube are great and free.
Staying motivated us hard, but I suggest making a vision board. It sound stupid but it works (mine has a picture if my setting or before body and next to it are a bunch of pictures of my dream body) seeing how far I had come or was going really set the tone of my day and reminded me what I was working for. I also keep one picture of my dream body on the fridge so that it reminds me to make smart choices about what I'm eating

Your weight is fine. If you become any thinner without building muscle, you'll become underweight. Ariana Grande is as thin as she is because it's her body type, and she basically has 0 muscles and 0 fat. That's why she's so thin.
Start working out and eating healthy. And remember, muscles weigh more than fat. So it's possible that you might gain weight in the process, even though you might look thinner. Focus more on your measurements and a little less on your weight. Weight is just a number, and in the end it means nothing because of the fact that everyone has different body types. For instance, person A might weigh 58 kg and look thin, because person A is pretty tall. But person B, who is shorter and more curvy by nature, might look a lot thicker than person A, even though they share the same weight.

You want to look like you did before puberty? That mindset is extremely unhealthy, to be honest. Puberty changed you in ways you can't undo. This is a good thing, whether you can admit it or not.

Simple solution to your problem is getting a self-assessment that makes sense, rather than constantly thinking you're fat when you're obviously not.

your BMI is at the lower limit, so instead of losing weighth, you need to gain weigth. If you don't want to look "thick", start sporting. You will gain weigth, but your body will get toned and look a lot thinner. A lot healthier than your plans now.
