Everything depends. What is your bone structure?
A rule of thumb is: For 5' you should weigh 100. For every inch over 5', and 5 pounds. So at 5'1" you should weigh no more than 105. But, this is a rule of thumb and so, it depends.
If you are inactive and have no muscle mass you would look fat at that weight. And if you were very athletic and exercised regularly you would have more muscle mass and could weigh even more without being overweight. As I said, everything depends.

Your weight is fine for your height. You could even go ahead and gain around eight pounds. If you haven't hit the height of puberty yet, just try to remain fit and active. When your chest forms and your hips start to widen you'll likely hit the 110 lbs mark without working for it.
Also, if you're very active a good amount of your weight could be muscle, and if so congratulations! You're on your way to being a very lovely, healthy young woman.

It depends on how it looks on you. Don't focus on the numbers. Some people honestly, look better with some extra weight! It's really hard to know unless I saw a picuture or something. I'm guessing you look just fine, but if YOU feel like you need to lose a little bit of weight, go for it! Only you can make that desision though!
Best of wishes!

Yeah around 120 and 130 is the ideal weight for your height.

At 5ft 1 and 102lb, your weight is fine. Try to stay around that weight or a little higher, don't go any lower.

there is no "perfect" weight (and anyone who tells you different is lying) the few pounds you have gained shouldn't warrant trying to lose weight. if anything, just eat healthy and stay active. doing that should keep you in a good weight range.

102 is considered underweight for 5'1. Its tough to go by 'standards'. If you are comfortable with that weight, stay there. Just be happy with yourself!
