Idk what’s wrong with my measurements. My waist seems huge compared to other girls my height and whenever I use online clothes size calculators it tells me I should be a size 16/18

Are you measuring your waist at the slimmest part - about an inch above the navel?

Yes

Sounds like you have a higher BF% than some of the people in this thread. Someone of the same height and weight can still have different body compositions. A person with a lot of muscle mass and little fat will have smaller measurements than the person with less muscle and more body fat even when height/weight are the same.

@SteamPug, what @shadow2soul said about BF% and body composition in general could very well be the case. If so, and if you'd like to change that, maybe try a little weight lifting? There are several threads here in the forums directed at getting those interested in body recomposition started on weights. I would add, though, that other aspects of body type also vary widely. I'll draw attention to my own measurements again to illustrate the point. Forget my actual numbers because I'm still overweight whereas you are in a great BMI zone for our height range, but as far as proportions, at ...

Bust 37
Small Waist 32.5
Bellybutton 37
Hips 40
(Last time I forgot to add Thighs 23,
Calves 13.5,
Upper Arms 12.5,
Neck 14.5)

... on my short torso not only is the smallest point in my waist NOT an inch above my bellybutton as @amc110's is (it's about 3 or 4 inches above, a little under my ribcage), but my bellybutton line, which is where my pants hit, is as wide as my bust!!! My caveat is that, also because of my short torso I always wear low-rise jeans because on me low-rise are normal rise (remember I said they hit my bellybutton), normal are high rise, and high rise are halter tops, so that may be why I have a 37 inch waist but am in a size 8 (the jeans think my waist are my hips ).

But I'd say that it doesn't necessarily sound like there's something 'wrong' with your measurements, and this thread is doing a pretty good job in illustrating the diversity of body types out there, even within the category of 'normal weight'. We may as well celebrate that.

Edited to '@' the person whose post I was addressing.
