Everyone is overweight. I get called a twig for being 150 5’9 when in reality it’s normal or even a tad too much.

They aren’t concerned you’ve lost too much weight, they are worried about their own self image and what it means that you can actually maintain a healthy weight.

Yup, people call me “skinny” and I’m right at the borderline between normal and overweight. I could lose 20 lbs and still be in the healthy range. In fact, I’m trying to cut about 10 lbs just to make sure I don’t creep up into the overweight range.

You have it completely right. Same thing happened to me, as soon as I was a single pound less than clinically overweight, I was being told by family I was dangerously skinny.
Some skewed perspectives for sure.
