It means you : Are significantly underweight, probably have an eating disorder, are going to have (or already do have) severe medical problems, or else you made the calculation incorrectly. Check w/your doctor.

Need to see doctor.: I usually like to provide concrete answers to questions here, but your query requires some definitive testing. There could be many metabolic, infectious, nutritional, gastrointestinal, endocrine issues causing the problem with your weight. Your BMI is dangerously low. You need to initiate a local work-up with a doctor right away. Please.
