Dear A.D Sampriti Chowdhury, Thank you for the question

Adolescence or teen age is a critical period of our lives in which our body undergoes rapid changes, growth and development. It is very essential to consume a healthy balanced diet with adequate amount of protein and other nutrients such as calcium, iron, vitamin D etc., which will help support growth, development, pubertal changes and strong bones.

Reference weight and height for a 19-year-old female is 48.1-59.5kg and 155.3-166.9cm respectively.

According to your mentioned weight you seem to be outside your reference ideal body weight.

It is necessary to maintain an ideal body weight to prevent, overweight, obesity and other lifestyle health concerns. Please note that it is recommended for target weight to be within ideal reference range.

Hope we have answered your query.

Wishing you a great day ahead
