49 kg is still considered healthy (in terms of BMI) for your height. So you could lose more or get toned a bit to look skinnier.0

I hope you are not just trolling us, but that is very much a healthy weight. If you feel like you are not skinny, then build muscle, but honestly that is a pretty ideal weight - unless you're aim is to be underweight. I'm 5'3" and 130 lbs (58 kg) and I'm regularly called skinny. Some days I don't feel skinny, but I am and I just have to fight those irrational thoughts. Fight that body dsymophia, it's just a thought in your head and remember that. As long as you're treating your body well, you are at a healthy weight already.0

Im not trolling you guys, I actually have wide bones like my shoulders are wide, my pelvic area is wider, so for me, I guess i'd have to be at least 50kg to be skinnier, and thats not underweight if you do a BMI calculation. You probably have a smaller frame, hence you're skinny. Im not that lucky lol, gonna have to lose more

I don't know...I'm 5'4" and 137 in my profile picture. I probably won't drop below 130 again. It depends on your body fat % and preferred physique. You're what..119 lbs?0

This wide bone making you look heavier thing sounds like nonsense to me. Low weight spread over a wider bone frame is going to look lighter/thinner/skinnier than the same weight spread over a smaller frame. And at the same height, I doubt your frame is that much wider than anybody else's.
Feeling fat is a feeling, not a reality. How are we supposed to guess when your feelings are going to feel skinny enough to make you happy?

Very much agree! I am also 5'4" and weigh 4 pounds less than you, but do not look as thin as you. My body fat is still too high for me to have a comparable appearance. Once you're at a good weight, it seems to be all about muscle.

I try not to let the scale get me down! I know I am heavier than a lot of "thin" women at my height. Muscle obviously plays a big role here.0 -

Nonsense? Go google body types and educate urself, people with wider shoulders and hip bone look fatter than someone who is petite structured and gained weight.

May I know what type of workouts you are doing, how often, and when you started seeing results.
