hello Ang111,
This is a perectly healthy amount of fat for a woman. and you are at a very healthy weight.
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
you are = 19.7
If you are uncomfortable at this weight you can change it. If people are telling you that you are too skinny, don't listen to them. As they are probably either jealous, or too used to looking at thier heavier bodies. :)
hope this helps
