At your height, 145 lbs puts you at a normal BMI, indicating that you are not overweight. If you are active and can enjoy doing sports, then I would say that you are also in shape. In todays super thin media it's difficult to see yourself as thin when the media shows tooth pick thin women as ideal. Don't get caught up into this drama, just embrace your body and be your best.

I think it's good that you're athletic and you exercise every week but at the age of 14 and your height it prob isn't a big deal. You should go to your family doctor and have him check out your health if it's a big concern to you. I hope everything works out.

You dont sound overweight to me. maybe you feel stockier or something but i believe its because you probably have more muscle...and that does weigh more than fat. You might be just pretty built for your age...im no expert, but I do look into health a lot.

Muscle weighs more than fat. Sounds like you're a strong girl... being athletic is good, if you little bulges here and there you don't like you'll probably grow into them.

it really depends on ur body type, you are a little above average, 130 should be your target weight, but if you put in the work, (3 days a week) you should be there in no time

because of your height, I would say, No. But keep up the exercising and watch your diet.

I think your weight is good for your height may be your suffering from anorexia.
