Overweight...overfat...this is not a matter of opinion, but of looking up your healthy weight range on the correct chart. You can actually calculate your bodyfat online. Most calculators will ask for your gender, waistline, weight, and sometimes height. You are given a number lower than 100, and that's your percentage. If you can keep it between 12 and 25% you are doing fine. I once had to program one of those calculators myself.
Shortcut--buy a Tanita scale that weighs you while you are barefoot, gives you the percentage and whether or not this is too high or too low for you.
I do agree with everyone that young people in general need to get out and exercise more--run around the park, play ball, jump rope, lift weights, etc. Yours is the first generation that has a lower life expectancy than their parents, and I blame inactivity for the most part.
Have fun!

You can best find out by calculating your BMI, or Body Mass Index. Of course, every health matter varies with individuals, but this is a good way to check. See website below.

It's not just about height..it's also about age. You're only 12! Sounds like you need to back away from the donuts and get outdoors more. Get involved with sports before you pack on any more poundage.. girls like guys who are tight!

Doesn't sound like it to me. Just maybe tall for your age? You should try to get into some type of activity though. Cause IT can happen if you don't. Good luck!

Nope your purfectly find, I wouldn't worry about it at all unless your unhappy with yourself. I think thats the perfect wheight for men your age. Girls are not at all atracted to super skinny men. They like a little bit of meat to them. Just be happy with who you are, and don't listen to anyone who has something to say about your wheight, because chances are they are self-concious them selves.

No, I don't think you are. You are after all 5'7" wish is pretty tall for a 12 year old. If you are worried about your weight, talk to your doctor about it. You sound good to me.

Not if you are 5'7.. However try to be active it will catch up with you later if you don't try to be active for at least 30 min a day. You are a kid you have lots of energy to burn!
