Hello, I would like to raise my fitness level and loose wieght around my stomach, and upper legs. Although my family and friends say loosing wieght would be dangerous, but I think there just saying that. Im so confused, I see myself as overweight and my family sees me as fine. I hate being so self conscience. I'm 170cm tall and weigh about 52 kgs. Should I lose wieght, and if so how can I lose it just around my stomach and upper legs, or am I in a healthy weight zone?

Your BMI (body mass index) equals 18.5 which is considered underweight instead of overweight. However, your age can factor in, and you don't mention this.

Normal healthy BMI is 18.5 - 24.9. You are in the 14 - 15 percentile. So, please do not attempt dieting, you actually need to gain weight depending on your age.
