I have just started maintenance, do I sounds like I am at a good and healthy point now?
I am 19 years old, 5'4, 119-120ish pounds
34 bust
26-26.5 waist
38 hips
21.7 thighs
9.6 arms

should i keep maintaining or lose more i.e. on my waist?
anyone else 5'4 and want to share what they believe is healthy?
Thanks!
:)

    How do you feel, I think is the most important question :-)

    You could go for some bodyfat% estimates. Because you could be skinny and fat. So while not the health issues of being overweight, still could have some health issues being overly fat still.

    You got the measurements, most of them, add a few more and get some estimates here.

    And then use that bodyfat% here to see how it relates to common healthy weight estimates, and especially the side regarding bodyfat%.

    According to calc, sounds good at 120'ish.

    Good job.

    Sounds like just keep the facts in the back of your mind, no matter what you think is in the mirror.

    Now perhaps get a better trained body for some event you would enjoy. Again, not something visual usually unless muscle starts increasing, but something you'll notice every time you workout or race or do the event.
    You'll know you are stronger, more powerful, than you've ever been.
