Hi there,
It is difficult for me to address the weight issue without having any history, or even your height. It is quite possible that 64kgs is a healthy weight for you. If this has been a stable weight for you, and you are not having unexplained weight loss, I would not worry about it.
Regarding the wrinkles around your eyes, I would suggest sunscreen and sunglasses to prevent it from worsening. I doubt that at 23 you should consider any kind of cosmetic resolution to this.
With the dry eyes, I would first try an over the counter eye lubricant, to see if that helps. If it is very severe, or not improving with an over the counter product, I would consider seeing your doctor.
Good luck.
