you shouldn't worry about being skinny, only not being fat. the goal should be to avoid the bad thing (being fat, in this case meaning only fat to the point of unhealthiness) not to be the opposite because that is bad too (being excessively skinny can cause just as many issues). as long as you aren't at the point one way or the other where it is hurting your health nobody actually cares. also I'm aware op was joking but some of y'all need to hear this.

To ammend even further: Health neither stops nor starts at weight in almost any case. Far better strategies for self care will instead look at:

  • Cardiovascular fitness (resting heart rate, blood pressure, etc)
  • Energy levels, blood sugar and sleep
  • Immunity, inflammation, stress

More broad attention to these three rough categories is going to be way more positive than worrying about the single metric of weight or BMI. Doctors may recommend a raise or lowering of weight, but for ALMOST EVERY person that’s only as a means to the end of improving one or more of the broader cardio, energy, and immunity mechanisms.

Any tips on taking care of your immunity, inflammation and energy level?

In addition to what others have said, cut back on the sugar.
