You're both muscular and fat. Most likely you have more muscle than the average person however it's obscured by a substantial amount of fat.

I'm 5'11 and hover around the ten stone mark most of the time (with some effort, on account of being a greedy barsket.) I can't "pinch an inch" at that weight, but I'm not far off.

However during recent severe back problems I took my weight right down to about 8 and a half stone, to try and make life easier for my spine, and I still didn't have a totally flat stomach. I just had the kind of lean build you see on marathon runners and an addiction to cottage cheese & vegetable soup. :-)

Clearly that's not a weight most people, including myself, should be targeting, but we only have to look back at films from the 50's and 60's to realise just how far our perception about 'normal' body weight has traveled in these relatively affluent times when food is (despite recent rises) very cheap. And the supermarkets have grown wealthy making us heavier, and then making us leaner, then heavier, then lighter. Money for old rope; Quality Street today, Weight Watchers in January.

The Romans had bread and circuses. We have £1 for four Double Deckers and Corrie. And now I want a Double Decker.

"Toned" doesn't mean much. I've lost count of the amount of people I've come across who think they are muscular because they can see their Rectus abdominis, whilst disregarding the fact that there is nothing to them.

Muscles will show through the skin for anyone if they have low enough bodyfat, and at 50KG at 5'11, it's not a surprise at all that you have low bodyfat.

Dropping weight due to a bad back isn't a sensible idea, it's better to build up the strength of your back so that it's not an issue. Dropping 10KG~ across your whole body isn't really going to do much to take the strain off your back.
