Bone density and muscle mass adds up the total body weight ,means even she is a little heavy according to age it doesn't mean she's over weight. the term overweight refers to the excess body fat mass in the body. If your daughter looks slim and will be engaged in athletics, then you don't have to worry. At her age, she'll develop a fit and toned body if she'll continue an active lifestyle. She just have to stay moderate in every food she eats.

Your daughter's BMI is 23.6
BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater Your RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate ) is 1420 Calories per day.
The term overweight is generally used to indicate that a human (or other mammal) has more body fat than is typical or required for the normal functioning of the body.

Honestly that doesn't sound too bad. She might be a bit heavy but she's only 12. Let her be. Plus, she's going into soccer which will give her plenty of excercise (and plenty of bruises so you're going to have to deal with that)
Don't listen to the BMI... It says Tom Cruise is overweight... I mean, c'mon.
