Normal: Bmi is 22.3 which is normal. Eat a good balanced diet and regular exercise. If she has an abnormal body image get her counseling now.

I'm a 17-year-old girl. I weigh 90 pounds and 5 feet 4 tall. I know that I'm underweighed. My weight didn't improve since I was 12 ( I weighed the same as today). My height also slowed down since I was 12. How should I eat or stay to improve my BMI?
