Check out your BMI. http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ This should give you a rough estimate. But really, it is personal preference, unless it is becoming unhealthy.

I weigh 145 and I'm 5 11 and my doctor says I'm in the exact 50th percentile meaning I'm literally the exact average of all American boys which is good.

Dude I'm 5'8" and like 110-115lbs. But I am a big time cross country runner, and somehow I like naturally do everything right to lose weight, which I would really rather not do. My doctor sees no problem with me.

Unless you have an eating disorder, you're never too skinny. Your body is probably just really skinny.
