You’re on your way to an eating disorder, you should see a doctor to safely overcome it because your body will reject food now if you try to force feed yourself.
You are not anorexic. Using the Adult Weight tables (the teen chart doesn’t address your height and age), you should weigh between 95 and 115 pounds. You currently weigh about 104 pounds, so you are okay.
In case you think you might be becoming anorexic, check out the site below: Anorexia Nervosa
Understanding the signs, symptoms, causes and treatment

I’m including the following information because it not only provides information for people who want t gain or lose weight but also has other valuable information:
How to GAIN or LOSE weight?
First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn’t gain or lose your weight overnight so don’t expect to gain or lose if overnight. Plus, if trying to lose weight, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.
BMI Classification
18.5 or less Underweight
18.5 to 24.99 Normal Weight
25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)
40 or greater Morbid Obesity
Check out your BMI at the bmi calculator site below to see where you stand.
bmi calculator:

If you need conversion info, 1 kg = 2.2 pounds and 2.54 cm = 1 inch (12 inches = 1 foot)

“How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?”
One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.
But it’s not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.
“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”
As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.
