Yes, I would be concerned, they are significantly underweight for their height.

Unless it's a friend who has recently lost weight, (probably using WLI) and you don't approve...

Is this an adult woman? Is she still losing weight or levelled off?

You could give more information about your relationship to her etc if you want proper advice

My mum is 5 foot, just under 7 stone and a size zero. She’s perfectly healthy (blew the physio away with her arm muscles from gardening 🤣).
Clinically she’s underweight, but contextually she is fine.
Do you know the person, have you seen them?

Yes, I'd be worried as the person is medically underweight. Not sure 'tiny' is helpful though as it's subjective and considered positive and aspirational to some people. Facts are its not a healthy weight.
