Anyone weigh a lot but looks thinner (apparently)?

I had a lady say she wishes she was my size (she wasn't even big). I am 5'6'' and I weigh 143 i'm trying to be max 125 (the weight people guess me as) by mid august or end of august. I wear a US size 4-6 and my measurements are 34-26-37. I don't get why I weigh so much. It's not like I'm jacked or anything. I have some tone on my arms but nothing shocking. I don't have a six pack, big boobs, a big butt, or wide hips. I have some thigh definition but not really. My weight seriously messes with my head because i constantly want to weigh less but apparently i'm don't look overweight. I actually doubt all the people that say I look smaller so I'm not fishing for compliments if yall think so i'm just puzzled

now that i think about it. it seems to be only black girls that i notice who have the same issue as me. i have a friend who's the same height and she's at my "goal body" and she weighs 120...but she looks like 100
