Sorry to ask so many questions but it might give a better idea of where you are and where you can improve.
Try to focus more on having 6 meals a day rather than '3 square' ones i.e. breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Humans are more suited to 'grazing' i.e. eating small portions constantly throughout the day (it keeps your insulin at a level where it's less likely to spike and slump so much) rather than binging (breakfast, lunch, big dinner).
I don't do any circuit training, so I don't know that much about it, but do you lift weights to build muscle in that? Tennis sounds good on the cardio front, at the moment I'm doing high intensity interval training and have found that very effective.
Just for reference, 65kgs is not that heavy for 168cm tall...............
Try to spot out the things you like about your body the next time you are in front of the mirror. It could well give you a healthier outlook of yourself. I started doing this and I can now usually look myself in the mirror and see the positive things. Sure, some days you notice the bad more but this is a matter of training your head to play nice.
From your description it does sound like you are living a healthy lifestyle. Enjoy that fact rather than obsessing over the result. You must feel happy in some way when you work up a good sweat or after a light meal?
It sounds like you are doing everything right so dwell on the good points - you're slimmer and fitter than if you didn't go to gym. You can't change your body so why get so worked up about it?
Next, we'll be having guys asking if they can somehow get a larger willy!
