Maybe Normal: Just knowing that you are 20 years old and weight 52 kg is not enough information to determine if your weight is appropriate. If you are under 167 cm, then your bmi (body mass index) would at least be normal. In addition to bmi, we would look at the percentage of body fat to determine normal. If you are over 167 cm in height, then you are likely underweight.
