hi sarah;
At 164 cms of height your ideal weight should be from 52-68 which means at 62 kgs you are with in normal limits.I think u may be looking fat as compared to what you weigh.If your weight is normal then you are healthy ;if you start crash diet (which is not required in your case ) you will start feeling tired.So better don't go all-out dieting instead start exercising to burn out excess fat & you will start looking slim ;even you will lose few kgs.start eating salad just before meals;eat fruits when you are hungry in between;don't eat junk food;choclates;fizzy drinks ;eat light in night but do a proper breakfast in morning.DON'T CUT DOWN TOO MUCH ON FOOD INSTEAD EXERCISE MORE.Iam advising this as if you diet & cut down your food you will lose weight ;but after few months if you start having regular food you will again put on weight.ALL THE BEST.
THANKS
