You are not fat! Your brother is just messing with your head.

No way! You're 5'3 and 98 pounds?? I would call that nice and lean. Trust me. You're absolutely-positively not fat, not even slightly overweight. If you think you're the only one who thinks she's fat when you're not, you're one of millions of girls in the United States. Plus, your little brother's "duty" is to do stuff like that to you. My brother also calls me chubby and fat all the time when my friends call me a stick. You shouldn't be confused about yourself because the final answer is that you are NOT fat!! I know girls are very self-conscious of what other people say but we all have to learn to take what people remark about you lightly, even make a joke of yourself sometimes. So don't be confused, you deserve not to be.

You are definitely not fat.
I checked your statistics on an online BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator, and here are your results:
Height: 5 feet, 3 inches
Weight: 98 pounds
Your BMI is 17.4, indicating your weight is in the underweight category for adults of your height. Talk with your healthcare provider to determine possible causes of underweight and if you need to gain weight.
The healthy range is 18.5–24.9, so you will need to gain some weight because you are unhealthy. My best advice would be to talk to your physician about this.
Don't worry; your brother's just teasing you. That's a common trait of ALL elder brothers, so next time he says that, you can just take it as a lighthearted joke.
Good luck! :)

I don't see where the confusion is. 5 ft 3 and only 97 lbs? That sounds pretty slender to me. Tell your brother to invest in some glasses. And if he already wears them, then to get a stronger prescription.
Please do not think you need to lose weight.

Of course your not fat. The only thing that would appear to be fat is your brothers attitude and insensitivity toward you!!

UM. NO! I actually think you should gain about 5 lbs. Your brother is calling you fat because that is what brothers do. They TEASE you. Your brother is just teasing you.

Do you really not know the answer to your question? You are not fat, you could actually put on a few lbs and still be skinny.

slap your brother and give him the chewing out of his life. you're the healthy weight for your height- and as long as you exercise and eat right and take care of your body, you will continue to be gorgeous.
maybe your brother is just taking out his own insecurities on you. well, it's time to let him know that that is not cool.

You aren't fat - your brother is just being a jerk and putting you down. Don't listen to him and just realize you are pretty no matter what.
