Is 45 kg too little for me?

For reference, I am a 182 cm tall 16-year-old male.

45 kg is my ultimate goal weight and my current goal weight is 50 kg. I'm very close to my current goal weight as I am 51 kg right now.

I just want to know if I should keep the ultimate goal weight of 45 kg, or if I should make it higher, or if I should just settle on 50 kg.

I heard that BMI of 13.5 may lead to organ failure and my BMI would be 13.6 if I reached 45 kg, but I honestly don't care about that.

Yes, that would be severely underweight. Your body could go into shock and they would need to intubate you. It’s not fun, and very painful. Seek help from a professional or go into group therapy. Talk to your parents about this as well. Life is too short to die in a very painful way.
