Trust me when i say that anything less than 155 lbs makes you look weak/sickly. I used to be in the 135-140 doing P90x and dieting some years back and seeing old pictures I was like “whoa I looked so frail!”
Eat more protein and take BCAA to replenish your muscle tissues. If you’re dropping weight too much vs building muscles, you’re probably doing too much cardio/weight and not enough food intake. Probably should dial it back a tiny bit and add more fish and chicken to your diet. I’m not looking to get big or super ripped, just tone. I look more fit now and a bit skinnier (folks ar work have commented lol) but I’m still around the 160 lbs range (haven’t weighed myself for exact number). Perfectly happy to be around that range. Goal now is to tone the neck area and I’m golden.

A lot of it has to do with your body type and frame size. Determine what you are and how your body will react to different types of exercise. Before I started going to the gym I was 5'8 and 118lbs(I know, right?). Very low body fat but also very little muscle. I am now sitting at 155 and on my smaller frame looks pretty beefy. If I do more than the 15 min per day cardio is start to drop weight fast. It all depends on the individual.
