I remember in college some women who were dismayed that the bodies they had in high school continued to grow and develop into their twenties - which is normal human development. It's all complicated by a society that expects adult women to spend their lives 20 pounds underweight.
Just because a law says you're an adult at 18 doesn't mean your body stops there; your brain won't even finish developing until your mid-twenties and your metabolism is going to slow down later bringing even more changes. Wanting the body you had even last year at 21 is about as realistic as wanting the body you had at 10. You're still growing up. Give it time and be a little more realistic about your expectations for yourself.
