Well you seem fine to me but what you can do is go online and check your BMI, that's your body mass index and based on the number you get you'll get an assessment and that will tell you whether you are at a good weight or not. I would advise though that you try to cut out junk food from your diet, as while illnesses like diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, etc. might not be a problem for you right now, the older you get your current eating habits might pose problems. So try now while you're young to eat well, it's hard but you can at least try.

Well, in terms of body mass index, you are quite low, only 17.7. - A BMI of 17.5 or under is one of the criteria for anorexia, although I am sure you wouldn´t be eating loads of junk if you were!
I think the more important question is whether you are healthy at that weight? You should be eating a balanced diet to include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. You should also ensure you get some exercise in also.
I suggest that you should talk to your GP and maybe get a referral to a nutritionist to take a closer look at your intake.
Incidentally, you are still young and as a teenager you generally need a higher intake of calories in order to grow correctly - A lot of changes are happening in your body just now. Even though you are eating lots of junk food, you still may not be eating enough. With age, the amount of calories you require to maintain yourself will lessen.

Your still growing and your weight for your height sounds about right. I'm 5' 3'' too and weigh about 115 to 118, but I'm a lot older than you.

You are not a bad weight, but you may not be healthy. Cut back on the fat.
