    I'm with everyone else, you are skinny enough as it is and I think you just have self esteem issues. I can say that because we almost have the same stats (I'm 5'4 1/2" and a little under 120) and I don't like the way I look. I was 115 when I got married so I would like to get down to that weight but if I can't no biggie. That being said, I run about 5-6 miles a day so my legs are really toned but I want to start lifting to tighten everything up. After having three kiddos everything is flabby! The only true reason I can think of that would cause you to not be able to exercise is if you are recovering from an eating disorder. I had a pretty severe ed many years ago and one of the requirements of my treatment was no exercising for six months. It was so hard to do but I did it. Honestly every day is a work in progress. I'm not sure if that is the reason why you can't exercise but if it is please feel free to message me anytime. I know just how hard it is.
