BMI: According to the goverment standards, at 16.9 you are somewhat underweight. Recommended bmi is 18.5-24.9, or for you a weight of 100-136lbs.

Underweight? Yes.: Use a BMI calculator to know. SEE: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm. BMI Categories: Underweight = <18.5 * Normal weight = 18.5–24.9 * Overweight = 25–29.9 * Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater. By checking your BMI you can get an idea of whether you are in a healthy range.

Yes: Your weight should be between 105 and 140 pounds. Aim to keep it around 120 pounds. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
