5"5, 122 pounds, my mom won't stop calling me "SO FAT"!?

Question

I have asian parents. I just turned 16, started to exercise A LOT everyday, started eat more healthier too. I used to be sooo skinny, people around me say I am a skeleton. I didn't have boobs or butt until recently. Because of puberty, my pelvis enlarged a lot in one year and because I exercise so much, my butt is now VERY round and big lol. My thighs are larger too. I gained 10 pounds but approximately 85%~90% are muscles.
My mom start to make fun of my butt and my body everyday.
"You're body is so fat and round", "look at you, your father would be so mad at you once he saw how fat you are", "are you stupid? people around you say you're skinny because they want you to become as fat as them!", "poor you, you're fat and you don't realize it", etc. 
Those were the things she say to me everyday! In my parents' eyes, the more a girl is skinny, the more beautiful she is. I don't think so, skinny girls with no muscle is so ugly...! Even though their mostly muscles, my mom still consider me as fat. I going back to Asia to see my dad tomorrow. He's a stubborn man, he would get mad at me for sure for being "fat" and he would BEAT me if I don't approve what he says  -_-"... I hate asian parents

That seems like a healthy weight, stay the way you are, anorexia is terrible, and you definately do not want to look like a walking skeleton, your dad will probably not mind, if by chance he does, thats just wrong, cause thats a perfectly healthy weight for someone thats your age and height

Wow  - that's really sad. If you are 5'5" and only 122lbs you are thin. Does she want you to be anorexic of malnourished?

A friend of mine who has Korean parents has the same issue. She is 5'3" and weighs 113lbs and her mother keeps telling her that she should only weigh 100lbs at her height. I don't know where she would even lose weight as she is already a size 0 and wears an XS and doesn't have an ounce of fat on her. In a bikini she is already bony

She just ignores her mother

You definitely aren't fat. The world has a huge problem with obesity nowadays.  It seems that certain cultures really think a healthy weight is fat. Be happy with yourself and don't make yourself sick. Your body was clearly meant to be muscular. That is not fat. As long as you feel healthy it's ok. I'm sorry your parents are making you feel so bad about yourself. Don't be mad at them for their cultural upbringing, though. I don't mean to be stereotypical, but very often they are extremely thin. You are using your body in more ways by working out. You are using your body to its full potential. Contrastingly, some cultures are large and they don't want their kids to lose weight because they look sickly. 

YOU have to be happy with yourself.

I am 5ft4 122 lbs too! Who the heck cares what your mom says. If you are happy in your own body, it shouldn't matter what others think. Keep exercising and eating healthy.

You're not fat at all and it sounds to me like your turning into a sexy gal, tell your mom it hurts your feelings when she says that. You will be 18 before to long honey and then you can get away from them if you wish.
