Brief Answer:
Best to meet an endocrinologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have read your query

I think your weight is ideal for your height and age.

Yet if you want to go ahead, read forward.

Frankly, this is not that simple a query
This needs extensive physical check up and investigation profile
Ideally I would suggest you to go to endocrinologist, preferably at KMC hospital banglore (assuming you are at bangalore).

If for some reason, that is not possible, I would suggest testing sugars (FBS,PPBS) and thyroid profile. There are many other tests that we can suggest but these are the basic tests.
Besides, what is the average height of your family?

Do let me know
Best of luck
