No. That's about right. But the scale is NOT the best determinent of whether or not you have too much body fat. So much impacts your real fat level. Your bone structure and how much muscle you have can make a big difference.
You are young, so you naturally have more muscle than a woman twice your age (who gets about the same amount of exercise).
You can tone and firm your body, and lower your body fat level at the same time, by weight training. A good resistence training program will quickly add definition and increase your muscle. So even if you don't drop a pound, you will get smaller and tighter.
Try it. Weight lifting is especially good for woman as it strengthens your bones (so you won't be crippled as an old lady) AND it fights the age-related muscle loss that will make you fatter as you age.

You might or might not be considered fat since this is dependent on your build. A heavy build could produce someone not looking fat, just possibly a little overweight. As well as this if you are a large build but very fit, some of that weight could be put down to muscle which weighs more than fat.

No you are not fat! You do need eat healthy, and it is so much easier today to stay slim, even with all the temptations, we know so much more about foods today and which ones cause fat, and which ones provide nutrients. I hope you hunt for a food pyramid on the Internet and live your life by it. You'll never get fat and you will be able to eat lots of food. Good luck. D

No. Especially taking into consideration that muscle weighs more than fat. Why are you asking other people who've never even met you and haven't seen a picture of you anyway? Don't sell yourself short. Even if you were 'fat', weight is not the most important thing in the world.

wow you make me feel bad. I'm 16 5'4 and 1/2 and 148 pounds. i'm always told that I don't look it considering the fact that I'm losing weight. But you're not fat if I'm only a half inch taller than you and over 20 pounds heavier than you and I'm not that big you must be really thin.

nope, besides you are only 16, if you excercise and eat right you will tone up and look even better than you do now! The only thing you probably need is to tone a bit, that will increase your muscle to fat ratio and you will not lose a lot of weight but you will look better....hope that is kind of the answer you are looking for

No you are not fat. When I was 16 I was 5'6 and 180 lbs.I also had a thyroid problem. You really shouldn't worry about that. Shame on the person that said yes they are being rediculous.So have fun and just live your life.
