Are you measuring accurately? Invest in a food scale if you don't already have one3

Do you have any food allergies or inflammation going on? If so, that will do it!
On the other hand, if you are young and still growing, as you indicate below, then gaining weight is normal, especially with that much gain in height.1 -
How old are you?1

The "fat" on your legs and thighs...that is how women look.
I don't believe you are measuring accurately (your food.) If you are in fact eating 1400 and gaining weight other than a couple pounds near your period, then see a doctor.5 -

Ok, see a doctor.
Your food diary here is not open for us to see. You joined this site yesterday. I doubt seriously that you have logged food using a food scale for any amount of time at all.
Try it for a month14 -

5"10 and weigh in the 120's?? I'm not sure how you can have any excess fat at that height and weight.
If you are 100% positive that youre eating 1400 calories which would mean weighing and logging absolutely everything, no measuring cups and spoons for solid foods, and you are gaining weight, then yes, a doctors visit is in order6 -
Growing taller means that, you'll gain weight just; by having more bone length & whatever, extra's necessary to; surround them: skin, muscle, veins, fat & blood! So you're suppose to, be gaining weight because that, all has weight!13

From the info you provided, I would not eat any less, and just keep eating healthy. Try to get more greens in though. They don't add much calories but the health benefit far exceeds calories anyway. I would recommend you do some weight training. If you want to focus on your thighs, look up squat challenges and lunges. It will help tighten your legs, but not necessarily lose weight, but in my opinion you don't need to lose weight, just tone up if your worried about it. Muscle tone will make you look leaner. Two people of the exact same weight can look totally different because of muscle tone or lack thereof.2

Due to, your gender, current age & height you, shouldn't weigh any less; than 122.0 pounds!4

There is so much in this thread that doesn't make sense. Guessing on food, but "I KNOW it's 1400. OR LESS."
Being upset because you're becoming a woman with a woman's shape.
5'10" and saying you "grew" 1.5 inches in the last couple weeks.
"In the 120s" but gaining weight - but not logging food or weight, and being 5'10" - which is already underweight. Why are you even worried?
Joining this site yesterday and not having any data for us to review, but saying all the above.
How about logging your food for a month and then asking these questions again.7
