    If you're getting a healthy balanced diet, then there's nothing to worry about. But they must be saying it for a reason. Have you lost weight recently? Have you stopped eating certain foods?

    They must be concerned for a reason, I doubt all of your family would express the same doubts just randomly.
    If they are just saying this because they're worried for no reason, ask them why they say it, and try and find the reason behind it.
    For example, if they say you don't put on weight even though you know you eat a ton, you could say that a lot of teenage boys have high metabolisms, which would probably be the explanation anyway.
