For the Americans in the audience, she's complaining that she's now over 100 lbs. 45 kb (basically 98 lbs weaklings) is considered the "ideal" weight of a woman in Japan. There isn't allowance for being tall, either, although Fukuda is short even by their standards.

For the love of god, tell me you didn't make a typo and didn't mean 45 kg, because sweet lord, that is fucking thin. A big slap on the back would turn her X-Ray picture into a bundle of sticks thrown in a washing machine.

Fukuda's height is 135 cm (4' 5"), and her weight according to the scale is 50 kg (110 lbs), which would make her BMI 27.4, putting her in the overweight category (obese 1 in Japan). Although, I'm not sure if Fukuda's height was known at the time or by the artist when this picture was drawn, so perhaps Fukuda was thought to be taller or something?
For comparison the average height for Japanese girls age 16 is around 157.5-157.9 cm and the average weight is 52.6-53 kg. BMI 21.2-21.3.
The school lunch was more luxurious than usual so I carelessly ate too much de arimasu.Au~This is bad de arimasu.It's all because of New Year's...As a tank commander... I can't be seen like this...Even if I get hungry or cannot move in the command section...Don't panic, Fukuda!!Commander Nishi-dono!?Even though we have enlisted into Tankery we are still students in our growth period!Don't worry yourself over such increases!!
