Skinny = unhealthily underweight.

Fat = unhealthily overweight

Anyone not fitting in the above two categories is "normal".

That is absolutely not what most people mean when they say skinny. Skinny is treated as a cultural ideal, and generally just means low end of healthy weight or low fat-moderate muscle.

First time?

Most people are objectively wrong.

Correct. You could divide "normal" up a bit more with adjectives like "slender" or "husky", but "skinny" and "fat" are on the unhealthy side.
