My two cents
Josie, First I'd like to congratulate you on your 12 lb. loss. Then I'll step out here, and put in my two cents worth. You aren't that tall, 5 foot, and 118 lbs. is not an unreasonable weight for your height. Maybe if you wanted to be smaller, you could incorporate some exercising, possibly some weight training and that would tighten everything up. As far as medical proof, there are soooo many articles on the Atkins diet.There is a link on top, the orange bar...Low Carb Research and Studies.,and it has alot of great info on it. Your family is probably just concerned about your weight because of your prior being an anorexic.Did you get professional help with that? Anorexics have a distorted body image, and think that they are fat when actually they are underweight. if you did not work on improving your body image of yourself, then perhaps you are at a good weight right now, and don't realize it.

I would get a doctor's opinion as to how they feel about your current weight for your frame, and whether you should be losing any more. IMHO, If losing fat is your goal... go for weight training and build up your muscles. It'll shrink you, plus make you stronger and more efficient in burning fat.
