Tigh: 53.5/22.4inches
Calves: 38.5cm/15.1inches
Forearm: 29.5cm/11.6inches

Are this measurements that bad for my size?

A better way to assess things are to look at where you are compared to where you have been. It's all about your individual progress. As long as things keep progressing in the direction you want them to go, that is what matters. Keep taking measurements, and tracking things and keep working towards your goals bud.

When I first started my arms were around 10.6 inches that's the only thing I've measured.. But since now I'm trying to lean my bf% down I am afraid of losing some hard earned muscle. Taking measurements every 2 weeks? How often do you advice Rick?

Hey bud here is what I do.
I weigh myself every Friday, you can pick a day that works for you. And every month I take pictures and compare. Also I have my BF tested along with LBM index. This way I can see how my progress is going and adjust if needed.

I wouldn't worry about measuring your arms,legs,chest etc.. I would focus on look and feel.

Every couple weeks or so is fine, but as others pointed out don't get caught up in numbers. Sometimes it can throw things off a bit. For example, if you start getting really lean, you may see arm measurements go down but you didn't lose any muscle. It's from tightening up and dropping bodyfat. The scale can be a mindfuck too. Always pay attention to the mirror above all
