A woman who is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 126 pounds is not classified as overweight. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, she has a body mass index of 21.6, which is classified as a normal, healthy body weight. However, if her goal is weight loss, she can lose a few pounds and still be within a healthy weight category.

Healthy Weight Range

According to the University of Washington, a healthy weight range for a 5-foot-4 woman is 120 pounds, plus or minus 10 percent to account for differences in frame sizes. Therefore, small-framed women who are 5 feet 4 inches tall may weigh as little as108 pounds, while large-framed women of the same height can weigh up to 132 pounds and still be within a healthy weight range. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute classifies 5-foot-4 women who weigh less than 108 pounds as underweight, meaning they are at risk for nutrient deficiencies, fatigue and hair loss.

Calorie Deficit

If you’re 5-foot-4 and weigh 126 pounds, reducing your intake by 500 to 1,000 calories daily will help you shed 1 to 2 pounds per week. This rate of weight loss is safe and will help you keep lost weight off long term, notes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. You can also create a 500- to 1,000-calorie deficit by increasing your physical activity, or combining a reduced-calorie diet with a regular exercise program.

General Recommendations

The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute provides general weight-loss recommendations for women. Based on these guidelines, a woman who is 5-foot-4 and weighs 126 pounds requires 1,000 to 1,200 calories daily for weight loss if she’s sedentary, but 1,200 to 1,600 calories daily to lose weight if she exercises regularly. Women should avoid dropping below 1,000 calories per day unless supervised by their doctor. Very low-calorie diets can cause nausea, fatigue, constipation, nutrient deficiencies and even gallstone formation, according to Weight-control Information Network.

How many pounds do you need to lose a double chin?

If you are 40 pounds overweight, the odds are high that your double chin will disappear.

realself.com - Lose Weight or Mini Lift for Double Chin? - RealSelf

In many cases, a “double chin” comes from extra fat that has accumulated over the years. If you are in a position where you should or want to lose weight, this will probably improve the area under your chin as well. Reaching your goal weight should be your first course of action, and looking forward to an appearance you feel confident in can be a great motivator. Keep in mind, though, that when you lose weight, you can’t decide whether the fat will be lost from your “double chin,” your abdomen, your arms, etc. For this reason, I often see patients who have reached their goal weight but found that they still had some unwanted fat in an area or two. If this turns out to be the case, you should visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for a consultation. Depending on your skin’s firmness, you may just need liposuction. Or, if your skin is looser, the surgeon could recommend a lower face lift. But regardless, first make sure you’ve reached a stable weight where you want to stay in the long-term. Your appearance and your surgical results will change with weight loss, so complete that part of your journey before seeing a plastic surgeon.
