Dear,
It's nice to hear from you about your aspiration to become an Air force officer. It's really a great honor to be a part of Indian Air force.

Now,coming on your question, Unfortunately you are not eligible for Indian Air force due to your leas weight.

The standard weight published by Indian Air force for candidates of your type is 60 kgs and you're just 54 KGS. But as you are only 6kgs less than the prescribed standard weight so you can easily gain 6or 8kgs in a month or two if you're really passionate about getting job in Indian Air force.

I hope it helps.
