hi,
Welcome to Health Care Magic, thanks for posting your query . I understand your concern.
The ideal weight for a girl your age and height is somewhere between 110-125 pounds.. So i say your are in the ideal weight range and you need not worry much about what others say. Every body type is different and everyone has a few places where they are not much happy about, and you say its your thighs.

You could consider some exercises which concentrates on your thighs like sit-up's , running, and jogging which will help you lose fat on thighs and calves.
Try and avoid junk, oily food and drink 4-5 litres of water everyday.
Eat healthy and stay fit with routine exercises.

Hope this helps and answers your query satisfactorily.
Take care and wish you good health..
