For a 16 year old your calorie intake is somewhat low, especially as you are borderline underweight. Perhaps you should try to gain some weight.
Even with your limited calorie intake it is unlikely that your body will eat your muscles for energy as you are not actually starving yourself and you are not anorexic.
