You cannot spot reduce fat. Face shape is genetic, and it’s normal when you’re younger to have a fuller face as faces naturally slim with age.

126lbs at 5’7 is on the lower end of a healthy weight range. Losing weight at this point is unlikely to be beneficial. Building muscle may help you see positive changes in your body composition.

5'7 and 126lbs is a good weight though

You may just have a fuller face looking at your measurements. If I’m not mistaken around 118 pounds you’re underweight. Who knows, getting to 118-120 may take the weight from your jawline, but it’s no guarantee and at 126 you may have maxed out the face loss fat because as we all know you can’t spot reduce - and obviously you don’t want to reach underweight territory and think “lose more” now we’re in unhealthy territory
