Hello friends I am living in my ideal weight from almost 2 years now. Most healthiest I have ever been. Running 60km almost every week and also training strenth for 4 days a week.

I am around 18 percent body fat. Was even less before.

I have lost quite a lot of fat around my face too and people who know me before find me weak and ugly.
What changes I should make so that I can stay at low body fat and als look OK to my family.

    Personally, I think if you are happy with how you look, then you don't need to try and do anything for your family.

    Umm, while you can't choose family, you can choose your boundaries when you're around them.

    No one can (nor should they try to) make you feel "weak and ugly" unless you allow it.

    I am improving my running and I am improving in yoga and calisthenics too. But in order to get some fat on my face I will get a lot of fat in my tummy area too. That's the last thing I want really.

    Lifting weights to build muscle can help fill you out, but if you're around people who are calling you "weak and ugly" to your (probably perfectly normal) face, you should first find a way to not be around those people because those people are a-holes.

    100% a "them" problem. Looked at your pictures and neither weak or ugly would ever cross my mind. People are dumb and societal perception of what's "normal" is askew after years of being overweight or obese becoming the new "average".
