Should I continue to lose a little more weight?

I have been doing just fine, and I take pride in myself for doing so. However, I do have several ailments, include autism, asthma, and some anxiety. I bring my inhaler wherever I go incase I have an asthma attack.I was diagnosed with asthma when I was only 6, and I still have it 9 years later, at my age of 15. My asthma doctor put me on a drug called prednisone which made me gain weight fairly quickly. My autism isn't severe, but I did take other meds like risperidone, and zoloft which made me gain more weight, and it sucked.This year, my parents made me switch because my previous asthma doctor was kind of a jerk to us. My new asthma doctor who is a very nice woman in her late 30's wanted me to be weaned off the prednisone. I was also weaned off the zoloft, but I still take risperidone.In late March, my weight had climbed to 165 pounds, which is the heaviest I have ever been in my whole life. I was 5 foot 7, and was almost at the 95th percentile. I was heavy, and I started exercising and eating less, and I now weigh 154 pounds.At my doctor's office, she measured me yesterday at 5' 9''. But my dad disagreed with her, and he ended up measuring me at home and I'm only 5' 8'' plus a quarter inch.My mom wants me to get down to 150, and maybe in the 140's, but I'm not sure, I think I'll get taller and stretch out.

You sound like you are doing ok, Just stay the path, 150-155 is a good range, 140 might be getting little low as you are still growing, and dieting / exercising to get to 140 will deprive your body of the energy to grow.ALso I've heard (Not sure if its true). But as you get older your asthma will get less as your lungs get bigger.
