Depends on your body type, there is no exact number.

According to the BMI (Body Mass Index Chart) you would be overweight and probably look it if you were over 160 lbs. That chart can be very restrictive though because it does not consider body frame size which has to be taken into account - some people hold weight better - evenly and other only get it in one place the most, etc. So the bigger your frame (shoulders, back, neck, etc) then that # can go up some more.
BMI gives you your body height's healthy weight and according to this chart 168-168.5 is at the high range of normal for your height. But this chart didn't consider your age and that your body is still changing so that is not exact.
The Army has a limit of 175 for your height so that is a bit higher and that is definately a healthy weight - it does all depend so much on your body though - it is different and those charts make some people so upset and meanwhile the person looks fine and is healthy but those numbers can be so unrealistic. It is a good idea to try to get some muscle though - increases metabolism, lose body fat, etc - it is just good for you so maybe you can do some basic weight training 2-3 times a week , 3-4 exercises, 8-10 reps each - that will tone - also push-ups, and sit-ups will help tone any loose areas but only cardio will get rid of fat - these kinds of exercises just tone what is underneath. If you feel good and are in shape, don't get out of breath running up stairs or walking far, etc then you are probably fine. You will grow more - probably in spurts so your body will keep changing for several more years - dont' pressure yourself about weight now - let your body develop and then see what's going on.

Check your basic weight to height ratio at ask .com. Type in BMI for body mass index..thats a good place to start. As far as weight is concerned it all depends on you and how you are built. Don't get hung up on the weight number, you can tell when your getting too heavy for yourself can't you? There are plenty of thin people with too much fat and plenty of fat people with alot of muscle...so what? Each must try to be their own best.
I train people all the time who are hung up on the number meanwhile they chow down on all kinds of food. Be more concerned about figuring out how many calories you need to consume on a daily basis. No matter what any new diet fad says calories are still the name of the game!

well, i'm 6'5 and I think I look chubby around 230. So for you, maybe 190? Depends on the type of clothing you wear and the broadness of your shoulders, lot's of stuff.
I think 20 pounds over your BMI suggested weight might make you look chubby

long, right now the only thing that looks chubby on you is your brain for it is not engaged. Do you know how to write in sentences? Do you know that I is capitalized? Do you know that please is spelled PLEASE not plz. What you are asking is ludicrous and inane, you could look chubby at your current weight or at any weight it just depends on how your body is shaped, why don't you put your picture on the worldwide web and let everyone decide????
