Yes, you are underweight. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Consult a doctor to monitor your eating and weight. To monitor your BMI: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm

Depends on your family growth pattern. Look at them and see if you are thinner. There are growth charts for boys like you who grew up where you did. Consult will local Dr who should have them.
