Being underweight is different for everyone,
But I'm 5'5 and I just turned 16 and I weigh 110 and it says a test in gym said I'm underweight.
It just all depends on your fat percentage. Health Question & Answer

I think you are healthy... I'm 5"7 and I'm about 8 and a bit stone and I'm normal weight.

Not all those BMI things are correct anyway, but if you're really worried get a doctor to check.
