You are chubby, but you're not obese. If you go to your doctor and ask him/her to refer you to a good nutritionist, you can get your weight under control. Then work with your gym teacher on safe, healthy exercises that will get tone back into your muscles.
Whatever you do, don't go on a diet that your doctor doesn't approve. At your age it will mess up your menstrual periods and could leave you with a lot of problems you didn't want.

Don't worry about the number, as every person is different. Small vs big boned, plus muscle mass, can make a person's weight vary a lot.
But I can definitely say you're NOT obese at that height and weight, so don't worry. :) If your energy level is healthy and you can do everything physical that you want to do, then you're not fat. If you feel like you want more energy, and think the weight has something to do with it, try increasing (or starting *smile*) your exercise program. Stick with something you enjoy, something that's easy to do 3-5 X per week.

You have a body mass index of 23.1. You are in the normal range of the body mass index chart (BMI). It's hard to tell because you could weigh a different amount due to your bone frame, muscle mass, gender, etc. I am 15, 5'4", and around 115 pounds.

Is not what others think but what YOU think.
Are you happy with your body image? If not , eat right, work out a least 5 times a week and do cardio for at least 30 minutes a day,

I will say chubby fat but hey, I am 18, 5 foot 5'' and 200 pounds. You are lucky to be just chubby fat and I am being called obese. I may be fat but people LOVE me and my jokes.
Listen to this..... Not matter how fat you are (chubby fat, obese or even liitle tire on your stomach) but what do you do something about it and yourself.
If people tease you, say, "I am fat and proud of it!"...If you are tough, (Can't sue me for this) go to someone's face after they say it and say " What are YOU going to do something about it?!?!"

Your BMI is completely healthy for your height and weight. A healthy Body Mass Index is between
18.5-24.9, and yours is (23.1). Totally within the normal range. http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
You just have to remember that you are tall, height adds weight, but that doesn't mean you are fat! Keep in mind that people who are shorter than you, will probable weight less than you, but that is only because they are shorter.
A short person could be fatter than you and still weight less than you, strictly because of their height. It's your BMI that you should keep track of, and not your weight on a scale.

Please see ideal body weight calculators below.
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html
Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d
*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.
Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/
A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.
*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.
*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Send me an email or yahoo instant message to "gainbetterhealth" if you want an indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have any questions.
*Click on all the source links below to get the full benefit of the recommendations. The answers presented to your health questions are not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
