Hi,
Thank you for posting in the query
Let us calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) = Weight in kilograms / Height in cms2
Your BMI at 5 feet 6 inches with 60 kgs comes to 19.4
BMI < 18.5 - underweight
BMI 18.5-24.9 - Normal
BMI > 25-29.9 - Overwieght
BMI > 30 - Obese
Hence your weight for height is very much normal.
My advise to you would be,
1. Continue with your physical exercise. Incorporate anaerobic exercises or weight training exercises in your routine.
2. Start having a high protein diet. This should include milk and milk products, eggs and lean meat like chicken, fish, nuts, etc. Avoid red meat.
3. Increase your water intake to 3 liters per day.
4. Get adequate amount of sleep so that the body is rested.
We should remember that it is important to be healthy. Our physical attributes are but a reflection of how we live.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available for follow up queries if any.
Live a healthy life!
