You do know that the female human body isnt supposed to be that lean and that a fat rate under 14% is dangerous for women and tat this woman looks like her fat percentage is somewhere around 5% right?

To be honnest, I almost puked when I saw that... and I'm a male athlete so dont answer something like "you're probably some jealous fat chick"

there's a lot of factors, for example your age, your level of physical activity, your fat percentage, etc.
First of all try calculating your BMI, see if you're heavy enough (all you need is your weight and height, here's a calculator that'll do it automatically for you [link] )
It's not necessarily a matter of size, being skinny is good to a certain point, it reduces your chances of having cancer, heart problems, etc., but your body needs at least 14% of body fat with a BMI of at least 18.5 to be completely safe. The BMI you can calculate prtty easily, but for the body fat it's trickier, but usually if you're not super muscular and have a healthy BMI you should have a healthy body fat percentage For example, I'm a 19 years old male athlete, 6'5" 165 pounds, my BMI is pretty low, around 19.3,but I'm pretty muscular (looking at my Dante cosplay might give you an idea xD), so knowing that you're a girl and not as muscular as that model, if your BMI is around 19 it's highly likely that you're lean to a healthy extent. And even if your BMI is a bit low, lets say 18, as long as you still have your period and you don't starve yourself and you dont feel lightheaded on a regular basis, there's nothing to worry about right now, but being underweight is just as dangerous as being overweight, it can make you infertile, make your bones weak, give you heart problems, etc. (thats only in extreme cases but yeah better safe than sorry xD) so you should try to gain a bit of weight. I'm not talking about gaining like 20 pounds, im talking about 5 pounds or so, not really noticeable while you're wearing clothes so don't worry about not looking skinny anymore it's only going to make your skin a couple millimeters thicker and you'll lose a bit of muscle definition, but honnestly as a guy I don't really like girls that are more ripped than me so dont worry about not feeling as attractive anymore xD

Oh?
I hadn't thought about people being attractive because of their size really
hmm...
My Bmi is 18.2 so i think i'm okay for now.
I'm also only 16 so i think i've got a while more to grow so maybe i'll gain more weight with time... Hopefully.

Yeah you're okay for now, but trying to gain weight is still a good idea you know gaining weight isn't all that hard xD you just need to eat more calories, so basically just let every day be a cheat day just be careful to keep eating all the nutrients you need, but add a bit of calories, I'd say 500 calories a day over your metabolism for about a month and you should be okay xD (1 pound of fat is 3500 calories so 500 calories a day = 1 pound a week) if you weight is stable right now, it means you eat as much energy as you burn, so you just need to eat the same as usual plus 500 extra calories, if you eat healthy already you can make these 500 calories a treat, like having some extra desert, or simply having a second plate on your meals. It can be hard sometimes because you'll have to eat even when you're not hungry, but hey who complains about having to eat chocolate? xD
