Honestly, I do not think that is fat at all. Many women (and men) would consider that to be a very healthy weight and height. However, it is common for you to have reservations about your weight and questions about your diet like most women.
Jonny Bowden (MA, CN, CNS) states
"The look of your body and the performance you get from it has a lot more to do with body composition than with weight. It's perfectly possible to be "over fat" and underweight, and it's perfectly possible to be a gorgeous hunk of shining muscle and be technically "overweight" (most of the athletes you see in the Olympics are way over what that general formula would say is the "right" weight). That's because general formulas don't take into account muscle versus fat. They also don't take into account the significant leeway of individual differences. There's quite a range of weights over and under the "perfect number" at which you can be really, really healthy and really, really gorgeous. "
iVillage has great insight like this and much more. In fact they have a great Body Mass Index calculator that should give you your ideal weight and tips on staying healthy and fabulous.

You are just vergining on being overweight at 135lb and 5ft2. But please don't worry, you only just have a BMI of 25 and you may also be big boned. Ideally, it would be a good idea to lose a few pounds, at least 5-10lb to put you more within the healthy BMI range. Take care : )

That is considered overweight but it can also depend on your build. If you have a muscular build then its ok but if not you should talk to your doctor about what types of cardio you should do and a diet guide so you don't lose weight to quickly and hopefully build muscle as well.

Potentially you are "fat": As a person who's career is in the fitness industry, I would advise you to focus more on your Body Fat %. As offered as a percentage, it is irrelivant as to your height. It is more about gender and age. "Healthy" should be less than 20% as a min. guideline.
