You might be slightly overweigh, but you are only 13 years old. You are still carrying a little 'baby fat' as it is called. Your body is still changing and you are still growing. You shouldn't worry about your weight right now. Just hang in there sweetie, you will start growing in height again soon, and if you are eating healthy, feeling healthy and generally physically fit, you are just fine!!! Be happy with yourself no matter what!!! You are you and that's special in it's self!!!

No you are not overweight according to charts/BMI. You are in a healthy target zone. Age is not a factor in determining that. If you want to loose a few pounds if won't hurt you but you don't need to for health reasons.

It depends on a lot of things. The best thing to do is to ask your doctor. Only your doctor can tell you if you are considered overweight and if you are, then how to fix it. It's not always about the numbers.

No, besides you are going through puberty. You'll go through a lot of changes. Just stay away from the junk food and sodas because that really packs the weight on.

I think it all depends on the persons body. Most people that are your size are not considered fat, but at your age you meant want to have your mom take you to the doctors to get a physical.

depends on if your male or female .
male 120-130 pound is normal for a 5'5
female its 105-120 is normal for a 5'5
they base it on male/female due to male have a bit more muscle they have a higher BM/W.

not at all. If you're not satisfied with this, just look up Body Mass Index online and you can check whether you are in the healthy weight range or not...
