I'd say thin. Not stick model skinny, but pretty thin.
Losing ten pounds probably won't be a good idea. I say go for muscle tone. I never regard my weight. I'm just concerned about being well toned and not flabby. Because muscle weighs 3 times more than fat. And it's true. A girl a grade younger than me is stick thin, 5'8" ish and weighs 150, but also is very athletic.

Well your BMI (body mass index) is 20.4 which puts you at a normal weight for your height.
But if you lost 10 pounds it would put you at a BMI range of 18.8 which is still a healthy weight but kind of getting towards a unhealthy weight (18.5 and lower is known as a very unhealthy and could cause health problems) So maybe just lose 5 pounds? That is if you want to!! If your happy right now then do what your heart tells you to do.
Good Luck!!!
