Mum thinks i'm too skinny

I've got this problem, I've lost 10kgs in the past 10-12months and I still think I should lose a bit of weight but my mother thinks I am too skinny and I have changed a lot, I am not as fun as before (I live abroad so she sees me every once in a while for a few weeks) etc and she says she doesn't want me to lose any more weight. Also she tries to make me eat more, which really pisses me off because I worked so hard to lose this weight and I'm scared to get it all back, even if I accept not to lose more weight. I am between 1m75 and 1m78 tall and I weight around 58kg. Do you think I am anorexic or is my mother exagerating a bit like all mothers? I don't think I eat that little (my mother doesn't think I eat too little either but she's scared I'm just limit) but I accept that I am really exigent (?) with myself and I'm not happy if I am not perfect... What can I do to be happy with what I am? Any magic trics?

Here's a picture of me just so you can have a rough idea of how I look. I have that little tummy as you can see and it seriously pisses me off!
i just put that into a bmi calculator and your bmi is 18.3. thats only slightly below normal weight which is 18.5.

the picture link doesnt work, but as a rule of thumb, if you have bones sticking out all over the place, feel tired and lethargic all the time, you're probably too skinny. if you feel happy, whats the problem. If you're not feeling happy.... then worry about changing.
