I'm 35-36 weeks and I've been showing since like week 15 I think. I'm also a small lady (well, technically average) but I lost 20 lbs (to 125 lbs) in my first trimester and I'm now 23 pounds above that.
As long as your little one shows growth on track, you're doing just fine. No need to worry.

I carry small as well. I have gained a lot more with this pregnancy than my 1st, but I think it's bcuz I have been on bed rest since 20weeks & now 31weeks.
