Since you're still in that developing stage in life, weight is a hard thing to figure out. The problem with BMI calculators is that they don't take into consideration your muscles, metabolism, and other factors. The best way to find out is to do a skinfold test with calipers. Ask your athletic trainer, or a doctor. This will tell you what percentage body fat you have. You need body fat to live, and be a healthy person.

Until then, it does sound like you need to supplement yourself with a small weight gain.

Yes a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 24.6

You are underweight!

anythin under 19 is under weight

Well it should say on the website but from the sound of it yeah you are underweight

I can gift you a bit of BMI if you like.

If you're comfortable with yourself, don't worry about it. But don't take any drastic measures to stay that way; if you gain weight, great, but if you don't, its no biggie.

Yeah.

anything under like 18 (or as they say 19) is underweight

Dont skip meals its not good for you , you need a good balanced diet at your age. Don't get into the habit of not eating this will make you ill and may lead to eating disorder.
