big time, my friend. According to the CDC, based on your height and weight , your BMI is 33.7, placing the BMI-for-age at the 99th percentile for boys aged 16 years. "This teen may be overweight and should be seen by a healthcare provider for further assessment."
Check for yourself...

Yes, it is. I checked your info on 2 BMI (Body Mass Index) calculators and found that you are overweight. I have listed them below so you can verify it. (Take note that this doesn't work with muscular men and women or with people of an athletic build)

Yes, it is. At that height, you should weigh about 120.
If you were 6-foot-3, that would be a different matter.

I believe it would be overweight, but it can really depend on your bone mass and your body type too. Genetics plays a huge role here.

Check your Body Mass Index (BMI). That will give you a baseline to go off. It is based on your age, height and weight.

Dangerously overweight!
For your age and height you should about HALF of what you are now.

No that's not overweight. It's obesity.
