Im curious because people make it seem like the average japanese girl
is 80 pounds and anything bigger than that would be fat =/

I put your height and weight into a body mass index calculator and it says that your are under weight.

* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

You can put on another 10 pounds and still be classed as under weight. As far as I the BMI system is universal and not just used in Japan.
