Hi,
Thanks for contact HCM
According to Height and weight your BMI is 21.2 which is normal.
BMI CLASSIFICATION
18.5 or less     Underweight     
18.5 to 24.99     Normal Weight     
25 to 29.99     Overweight     
30 to 34.99     Obesity (Class 1)     
35 to 39.99     Obesity (Class 2)     
40 or greater     Morbid Obesity

People whose BMI is within 18.5 to 24.9 possess the ideal amount of body weight, associated with living longest, the lowest incidence of serious ilness, as well as being perceived as more physically attractive than people with BMI in higher or lower ranges. However, it may be a good idea to check your Waist Circumference and keep it within the recommended limits.
But you are still in growing age take Much more Protien suppliments (prefer natural source), calcium. Take two glass of Milk. two Boiled egg ( if you are eggeterian otherwise Paneer)
