Around 132 - 167 lbs But beware your height doesn't not dictates your ideal body weight as there are many variables within this, such as body shape, muscle bulk, ethnic origin, age, sex. So height to weight is very crude, but easy.
Try considering other markers to aim for such as:
BMI (Body Mass Index)
Waist circumference
Skin pinch tests
All the above have some limitations, but should be slightly more effective at staying healthy rather than being obsessed over weight and staving off associated disease related with being overweight. There is no exact easy measure for the whole population.
Always to remain by eating healthily and taking regular exercise (aim for at least 30 mins, 5x a week, this does not just mean at the gym, could be housework or gardening etc)
Any concerns please consult your doctor.

Your weight depends a lot on your body's frame. The weight you've reported seems perfectly acceptable given you height. If you are very active remember that muscle weighs more than fat and that should be taken into account. Trust me though, I weighed that much when I was in 8th grade, I know I wasn't fat, plus I was 5 inches shorter than you.

That is not bad for a 13 year old. The average adult male is about 160 lbs. and 5-9. I wouldnt worry about it until you are 18, when the growth starts to slow down and stop. If you get taller, you could get away with going to 190. Otherwise, 130-160 is perfectly fine.

60-65kg is consider ok.
By the way tell you some jokes:
-Doctor! I have a serious problem, I can never remember what i just said.
-When did you first notice this problem?
-What problem?
One more joke:
A guy calls his vet and says "What should I do with my cat?Vet says "What do you mean? Guy says "I had a leak in my lawnmowers gas tank and the cat drank the gas. Then the cat began to run around and around the yard, climbed a tree. then fell out of the tree stiff. Vet says "Is the cat dead? Guy replies "nope he ran out of gas.
Last of all just want to tell you that whatever you do, just don't give up. Also you must love and care for the people around you. In that way they will also show you the love that you show to them. Just be yourself and happy everyday. Wish you all the best and good luck!!

That is not fat. From your height and weight you are slim. You could weigh up to 145 lbs and still be in the range for you height.

You should worry about body fat %. And if you feel healthy and look good, then the number of lbs is irrelevent.

Depends on how often you open your mouth and insert food.
Your doctor can answer that question for you- a simple phone call will do,
