Her BMI (body mass index) which shows how much fat she has is 17% which is low for girls. A healthy BMI is 19-24% to be at the low 19% she would need to weigh 115 pounds.

Her ideal weight would be 122 lbs so 103 lbs is still OK. Perhaps a bit on the light side but a lot depends on your build and physique.
