Anorexia is a mental disease not based purely on appearance.
Do you eat plenty of healthy food?
If so then it's best that you go to a doctor. You may have a thyroid condition or something else
Just becauause your family is overweight doesn't mean you will at all

I scared being fat because all of my family is fat. I think it because of it and i started eating little...

Normally families are fat because they have the same habits.
But it's all about calories in vs out.
There's nothing wrong with having a low appetite or indulging either but balance is key.
Try to gradually increase how much you eat by adding healthy foods like fruits, nuts, carbs etc
Maybe planning meals or writing down what you eat will help you.
40kg is very small for your height so thinking of your health is important

anorexia is an eating disorder, if you notice you can't swallow food or throw up intentionally from fear of gaining weight, you might be anorexic.

You should probably tell your parents and check with your doctor.

anorexia is an eating disorder, a mental illness. If you eat and you dont gain weigh that just means that you have a super fast metabolism, but if when you see yourself in the mirror and you think you are fat or you barely eat because you are afraid of getting fat, then those are signs that you are probably on the wrong path.

Anorexia is an eating disorder where people compulsively starve themselves. If you eat all the food you need that you don't feel hungry, you're probably not anorexic. If you're thinner than you feel like you should be you should maybe go to a doctor though because it can indicate other health issues. My brother lost a lot of weight when he was ill with one of his kidneys not working for example

Anorexia is a mental illness..
