Answers:

You probably have the same bone density since you are sisters. What you are seeing is probably a difference in body fat percentages between the two of you. You probably have a slightly higher body fat percentage than your sister.

Fat takes up more space than muscle, so fattier people take up more space than muscular people, even if they weigh the same. Females tend to store fat on their hips and thighs when they have higher body fat percentages.

There is a such thing as big boned though.
