Well congrats on being signed to a modelling agency! It's such a shame there is a pressure to be too thin. Most of the super models who've lasted aren't stick insects (Cindy Crawford, Elle MacPherson etc etc). 124 is really light for your height. In fact, you are under a healthy weight according to your BMI. Any lower and you could cause yourself long lasting health dramas and nothing is worth that. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal at 15, but you don't want to regret it later.
You are obviously gorgeous - you have been signed! And the agency haven't asked you to lose weight. Stay your beautiful (thin!!) self. And don't listen to the other models. Odds on they are jealous and want to make you ugly. You go you gorgeous thing!
if you want to lose some fat don't do it! you are at the bottom end of the normal scale, tone up, you will weigh more but you can still look skinnier.
btw you bmi is 18.6
I think that your weight now is a good one. Besides, your body is still maturing at 15 and being underweight can jeopardize your overall development. I think you should not go under 120 if you so decide to loose a little weight.
Remember, you are beautiful and you have to put your overall health first! Don't do what you don't want to do!! Go see a physician so they can assess if you are healthy and if loosing weight would be the right thing to do.
Good Luck!
At your current weight your BMI (you are at 18.4 and normal is 18.5-24.9) is registering you as underweight so in my opinion I would stay where you are and tell the other people to kiss your butt. If you drop lower than that you will be more unhealthy and look unhealthy. You can be skinny and healthy looking or you can be skinny and sickly looking. My advice: Stay where you are at.
