Your body weight is absolutely fine. Body weight is determined by a parameter called Body Mass Index (BMI) which is calculated as follows :
BMI = Weight in kg/ Square of (height in meters).
By this formula your BMI comes around 20 which is absolutely normal . Normal range of BMI is 18-24 .
Hence you are maintaining a normal body weight and hence nothing extra needs to be done.
