Why do you need to be so skinny? I'm confused. You already know you're not overweight. Are you trying to wrestle in a certain weight class or something?

EDITED TO ADD: I would give you advice, not a lecture, if there was an answer to your question. But there just isn't. You can only lose so much weight. Your bones and your organs and your skin weigh something. It doesn't sound like you have a lot of fat, so there isn't much you can lose. Cut your hair and trim your fingernails? I really don't think you're going to be able to lose below 115 at 5'6".

Maybe you can focus instead of toning what you have or building muscle up. You can become one of those "In Shape" magazine girls. It sounds like you have a real desire to keep your body healthy and slim and fat free, which is a fine goal, but I don't think you're going to be able to do it by losing weight. I think you've done all of that that there is to do. Instead maybe you can become like that Gillian chick on Biggest Loser...very thin but mostly just a badass lean, muscled machine. :)
