Pushing the boundaries?

Hi, I'm a 16 year old girl, 120 pounds, 5 feet 9 inches tall. I realize that for my age, weight, and height I am close to being under weight but after dieting and exercising for 2 1/2 months I'm still not happy with my body. I still have the small ribbon of fat around my middle and the ugly fat deposits right on the inner thighs. In the time that I was dieting I would consume amounts of calories that were far too low to allow my body to function properly and on top of that I would put myself through 30 min. of spot training and 30 min. of light cardio. I avoided high calorie foods, even the ones that are proven to help burn fat like avocadoes and almonds, thinking that would help me lose weight. During this time I lost about 2-3 pounds a week and dropped 20 pounds a little too quickly. I am now regretting it, I am worried that I am pushing myself too far and being unhealthy. At this point I need advice as to how I can tone up my body in a healthy way and get the body I want without putting myself in danger.
