When I started in October or so I had planned for my goal to be around 58 to 60kg (128-132 lb) knowing that if I got there I'd be at a BMI of 21.51 and far from underweight. My current BMI of 24 still puts me in the overweight cohort according to this (Asian) chart I'm referencing (https://www.researchgate.net/figure/WHO-Asian-BMI-classification_tbl1_296026141).
However, almost all of my friends and family have been incessantly telling me that I only need to maintain from here and that losing more weight is undesirable. As a result I'd had to literally stop dieting and claim to "eat at maintenance" before they got occupied with other things and I could restart my diet again. This has happened multiple times. They also managed to put a stop to my IF efforts. Other claims they have made include "Don't change up your diet, just exercise more" and "If you want the belly gone just do sit-ups".
Context: my mom has been the most vocal about her opinions and she's overweight. Most of her friends are the same. Do I write it off as jealousy and move on or nah? How do I convince them that slimming down further is not hurtful in any way?
