Your BMI is your body mass index. It's a number used to calculate healthy weights, and obesity.
Your BMR is your basal metabolic rate. BMR is a number that shows how many calories you burn. 1421.4 is your sedentary BMR(I'm assuming). It means that even if you sit around all day, just breathing and doing basically no activity like working out, that's what your body burns.
BMR gives everyone an idea of how many calories they should consume in food per day.
If you exercise, you sometimes need to eat more than the 1421.4 since exercise adds a greater calorie burn.
Congratulations on your weight loss so far too.

It means you're underweight and that just by being alive, you burn about 1421 calories--that's before exercise, or even typical walking around and daily activities.
Please don't try to lose anymore weight. Be safe.
