According to my measurements am I considered fat, thick?

I decided to get my measurements taken because I have recently lost 10 lbs. I was always told that I was skinny by everyone but I'm now 28 and had put on 10 lbs since high school, which didn't look bad because I am toned. Much to my surprise my waist is a 29!! Which another inch over puts me at risk for obesity so I've read. My measurements are 36-29-39, weigh 140 and my build is medium according to the inches of my wrist which I read is a way to determine body build . I know my weight is in perfect.range for my 5 ft 7 1/2' height so what gives with my waist? I know I have curves to me but my tummy is pretty flat with noticeable muscle tone. But with a waist of 29' am I considered fat, chubby or thick? Does society view me as a woman on the heavy side?? I am reading up on celebrity waist sizes mostly thicker women like j lo and Kim kardashian and they are 26' waists or smaller. I know how bad it is to compare oneself to celebrities but My bikini body seems just as tight as these woman if not more. I worked hard to get where I am and i still think I look good, even if someone else considers me to be big. I just want some feed back on my waist size. Is it possible to make it smaller without going under a healthy weight range and also any tips that might make me lose weight around my waist and not so much the rest of my body because although I've always had a bubble butt I used to look model skinny before and that i think is TOO skinny.

    You already think your bikini body is just as tight as the thicker celebrity woman, so why do you care if society views you as thick or fat? So what if your waist is 3" bigger than the typical model or actress, you worked hard to get where you are and still think you look good. That's all that matters. Not that you look model skinny like in your younger days as that is "too" skinny. Most people find the thicker, chunkier body more desirable, anyway, as it is much easier to obtain than the svelte figure of most celebrity women.
