Safe to lose weight?

[EweKiwi]

I'm 5'6" and 132lbs last time I checked. I have love handles beyond belief and no collarbone. Other than that, I have a skinny body. I would like to know if it's safe to lose a few, though. I don't want to look "too skinny" or be unhealthy for that matter.

Your weight sounds perfectly fine, but if you want to work on your stomach (like your love handles), you can replace fat with muscle (which is more toned and takes up less space and you will look thinner) by doing weight training. For mine, I just side plank a lot haha and did cardio to help lose the layer of fat over my muscles.

everyone is different. im a lot less but it suits me. I don't know what your body is like or your energy levels or your hormone balance. why not just go slow and stop if it feels bad.

Your weight is perfectly fine which is exactly why your collar bones aren't sticking out.

You don't have to lose weight to lose fat. Do weight training and modify your diet to a healthier one. In fact it's possible to even gain weight and look fitter.

I am 5'5" and 134 lbs. You can certainly loose some weight, but see that you loose fat and not muscle. So besides working out, eat balanced.

I think it would be best for you to tone up, lose fat and gain some muscle. But sounds like you're fine already.

I think you need to talk with your doctor. Something sounds off about this.
