    The recommended weight range for a 5'8" female is 130 - 151 lbs, per the calculator below, depending on her body frame size. Sounds to me like you have some body image issues (clearly no idea what "fat" looks like). You may want to see an eye doctor for corrective lenses.

    You have a mental illness that's affecting your perception.  This is nothing to be ashamed of.  You're underweight and your health and life are endangered by this illness.  See a doctor.  Get help.

    Body dysmorphia. I agree with the other answer - if you can afford therapy, I would talk to someone about your self esteem.
