I am 20 year old. I weigh 52 kgs and I am 157 cm tall.
I am literally Struggling with exercising, dieting and weight platue!
I do cardio and calisthenics.
I also keep a check on what I eat.
Still I am not getting any thinner.
I really need to weigh 47 kgs so that I look thin. Can you imagine that with my present weight I appear chuuby.
My trouble areas are my arms and thighs.
I am literally fed up with my body.
Can anyone please guide me what to do?

You are likely eating more than you think. Do you weigh your food?9

Greetings Srishti285! Have you tried to use the MyFitnessPal app to log/track your food intake? It's free. It's amazing how many calories we eat compared to how many calories we REALLY take in. Good luck!4

Rather than lose weight when you’re already in the middle of a healthy range, you may want to look into a recomp. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10177803/recomposition-maintaining-weight-while-losing-fat9

I would talk to your doctor. Maybe see if you have a thyroid issue8

If you haven't lost weight, you are eating at maintenance. You're 5'1" & 114 lbs, which means you are at a healthy weight. Losing at your size will require really good weighing, measuring, and logging.9

Are you seeing a therapist to work on your body dysmorphia?

Worth a repost.
This is excellent advice.
A recomp will help reshape your body and help get rid of the 'chubby' look without you having to lose more weight.
Here is a list of programmes that will help with your recomp.

When you aren't losing weight it means you aren't eating less than you are burning.3

you cant out exercise a bad diet (ie: excess of calories)1

If the OP is maintaining at 52 kgs, her calorie intake is perfectly fine. It sounds like a structured recomp program is in order. If you don't like how you look now, I suspect that you won't be happy at 47 kgs.4 -

Well no I don't weigh my food. Isn't that tedious?2 -

Hello ma'am. Yes I use the app daily to record my food and sometimes it goes beyond my 1250 Cal limits. But you know I feel hungry most of the time0 -

I don't find it so. It's an easy way to know how much you're eating.1 -

You get used to it. You're so small that every little bit counts. Extra 50 calories a day is 5 pounds a year GAINED, not LOST.1 -

I am afraid, I have not talked to any specialist about that0 -

Try experimenting with different macros to see if one satiates you more. For me personally, it's a mix of protein and carbs, with a fair amount of high-fiber fruits and veggies. I know there are people here who swear by fat. Even within a macro some foods are more filling than others. I find I do much better on popcorn than potato chips (or maybe it's that popcorn satisfies my salt tooth, the fiber keeps me full, but it's not SO tasty that I keep wanting more after my portion. 80 calories worth of popcorn is (to me!) both larger and more satiating than 80 calories of chips.0
