    People are just bad at guessing.

    I mean, I assumed I would be a laughable bone bag at 5'5" 121 that I am now back when I was over 200lbs.

    For me, I think it depends on what clothes I'm wearing. I'm muscular for my overall size, and if anything I think I look like I may weigh more than I do.

    I am 5'8" 150 lbs.

    I think I look pretty average for my weight, but the lowest weight someone guessed on MyFitnessPal based on my profile picture was 120 lbs.

    I was shocked to say the least...

    OP, you and I are almost exactly the same height and weight and I wear a US 10 or 12. If you're wearing and 8, you're legit denser than me. Even so, people always guess my weight lower than it is. I've hypothesized that it's because, like you said, people forget that "curves" add weight. My boobs alone weigh 9lb. Plus they're being polite.
