Okay, so at the beginning of the summer I decided to lose some weight. I'm a 6'1" boy, 18 years old (19 in 2 months) and I previously weighed ~172-173 lbs. I wanted to lose some weight though since I am really into clothes and prefer a slim/skinny look. After a month and a half, I'm now down to ~155 lbs. I've received a few compliments about looking good, but my parents (same as a few others I've noticed who posted here) have become very disapproving of it. Both of my parents constantly tell me that I shouldn't lose anymore and even sometimes say I look too skinny. No one else tells me this, though.
The unfortunate thing is that I still want to lose some more weight. I'm already pretty muscular and have a rather athletic body. I still want to thin my thighs some since that is where I store almost all of my fat and I'd like a more proportionate upper and lower body (my upper body is quite lean). Is it bad for me to still lose weight? I checked my BMI and according to it I could still lose some more weight without being underweight, but would like a second opinion.
Also, what kind of foods should I be eating (or not eating) if I want to lose weight (cutting down on fat specifically)? My mom is a dietician but I really don't want to ask her at this point. Also, what kind of exercise is best for burning fat? I currently run and use stationary bikes, but was wondering if I should switch to something else.
Thanks.
P.S.: Sorry for posting a request without posting something substantial in another thread, I'll try to make up for it.
