Answer
You're fine. 167 is a perfectly healthy weight for a 19-year-old of your height. I would suggest just hitting the weights once or twice a week to build some muscle. THEN we'll see who's being ridiculed! :)

See my web site for information on proper diet, nutrition, exercise, weight-lifting routines, and more.
