BMI=15.2 : In adults, we diagnose underweight, normal weight, overweight & obese based upon body mass index (BMI), regardless of age or gender. In children & teens, we use BMI%tile which also takes into account age & gender. Use https://nccd.cdc.gov/dnpabmi/calculator.aspx where your values come to BMI 15.2 & BMI%tile less than 1st %tile where less than 5th is underweight. So chat w/your parents & FamilyDoc.
