Weight: Sorry, I need to do this in pounds. With girls, we calculate weight by 100lbs for 5' and 5 lbs for every inch above that; so 130. However, 10% below and up to 20% above, is just cosmetic weight, not affecting your health. So 117-156lbs. 56-57kg is about 127lbs. Your weight is perfect for your height. Toning with exercise, might help you feel better about your shape.
