you dont have an anorexic wt if youre eating right as you say, you may just have a high metabolic rate which means your body burns thru calories quicker than most plus the fact that youre young and probably active. Dont worry about your wt being too low its not, if youre healthy consider yourself lucky you might want to do a bit of wieght training if you want to bulk up some, otherwise i dont think you should worry

Assuming you're female, which I guess you are from your name though as your stats have been edited I can't be absolutely sure (!), one way to keep a check on whether your weight's getting too low is whether you're still having regular periods. Some people who exercise a lot can lose their periods even without having an e.d., and this isn't good for you in the long run - can lead to osteoporosis, infertility etc. If yours start to falter or stop you should consider cutting down your exercise or eating a little more to put yourself back in balance.
