Perhaps, what you should do is find out what your ideal weight is for your height and build, as well as your body fat percentage. Go to WebMD. It is true that a taller person will inevitably weigh more than a shorter. Whether or not you are fat depends on whether your weight is PROPORTIONATE to your frame (height AND build). Find out and if you need to lose a few, no biggie. Just do it. If not, you can stop worrying about it and you can start ENJOYING THOSE LONG LEGS that we shorties envy!!!! : )
BTW, tomsbe, or whatever that was, it is BMI, body mass index. And I dont recommend it. BMI is not very accurate. It doesnt take into account BFP, age and build. I'd be so thin I'd be in the hospital if I followed BMI. When I ran, I had a BFP of 9% and weighed 125 because of muscle. BMI would've considered me overweight. I was, infact, underweight. You could count every rib on me back then. Ideal weight and BFP (Body fat percentage) is the healthy way.

The BMI is only a rough guide, it can be wrong. It all depends on how you feel in your body. Im tall and i know that according to the BMI i am over weight, but i know im not. Yes ive put weight on, but most people havent noticed or make the same comments to me. There is definately nothing wrong with having a few curves!

If you're tall, it won't be noticeable to anyone but you.
