Body issues

So, I am only 19 yrs old. I am brown skinned, chubby and very very hairy.Now, the thing when people see my body they say It looks like someone who is like 40 yrs old something. It's really hurts when people say that. I do work out and try to decrease my weight, it's slow but it's happening!I want to wax/shave my body hairy off, but my parents are extremely against it (I am Indian btw). And they think I wanna shave it's cuz I am gay! And that "real men have body hair"Also, I am possibly the hairest person in my uni!
