I’ve been 125 at 5’9", that was my weight after I recovered from disordered eating and until my husband asked me to bulk, so from 20 years old to about 48. Nobody really commented that I was too thin (except husband), I looked slender not skinny skinny, was in shape, worked out. More cardio less weights.
90 lb when having trouble from 16 to 20 - that looked skinny and surely wasn’t healthy but I still got my period.
150 now since gaining - aimed for 145, overshot. Still aiming for 145 finally making progress, slowly. People STILL think I am thin. I am not. This is more than I weighed 9 months pregnant and honestly it freaks me out a little. Doctor says it’s a healthy weight still though.
ETA - 125 at 5’9" is barely even underweight by BMI. 128 lands in Normal territory.
