Yes; according to most standards, you are underweight.
In the US, we use the body-mass index (BMI) to help determine whether an individual is underweight, normal, overweight, or obese. The BMI ranges for these categories is as follows:
* Underweight: <18.5
* Normal: 18.5-25
* Overweight: 25-30
* Obese: >30
BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight (in kilograms) by their height (in meters) squared. Using this calculation, a person who is 5'10" tall and weighs 126 lb would have a BMI of 18.1, which is technically underweight.
