You would not be considered fat.

I read a lot of Japanese magazines, and many times the "after" weights of the girls (who are generally a few inches shorter than you) in weight loss ads are similar in BMI to you.

The ultra fashionable ultra weight conscious girls generally want to keep their weight under 50 kilos (110 lbs). Yours is 46kilos, which is good considering your height.

As for people making it seem like the average Japanese girl weighs 80 pounds... well that's silly. Referring back to the psychotic Japanese diet ads, NONE of those skeletal girls were 80 pounds. The closest was a girl who was 83. She was 5'1" and looked really bad.

Of course we have to consider how you carry your weight too... for example back when I was 130 lbs I wore a size 2 top and a size 4 or maybe 6 bottoms, but I knew a woman who was 130 and wore a size 10 and looked fat. When I was 116 lbs my measurements were 31-23-35 which are all smaller than some people who weigh between 100 and 110.
