Height 50th percentile, which means average.
Weight about 80th percentile, which means a little above average. The average for weight at your age is about 125 pounds.
But, it also depends on your build and exercise activity. I weigh about the same as Armold Schwarenegar (spelling?). But I have about 30 % body fat, and in his prime, he was probably close or in single digit body fat (9-12% I guess)
Look at growth charts on the web. The link to one from Center for Disease Control (CDC) is below.

My husband was 155 and 6'3" which means he was very skinny. I think that is an okay weight based on my memory from football players in high school and your height. Ask your doctor but if you are happy with your weight then who cares what anyone else thinks. If you feel a little heavy then just work out and lay off the junk food.

That's hard to tell. I have the exact same stats as you, and I am working on losing extra weight. However, if you are an athlete and very muscular, you could have a medium build. Consult your doctor.

No. You aren't fat, you're right-you have a medium build. Plus, if you play sports, most of that weight could be muscle, or if you're wide-boned, bone!

I dont think youre fat at all. Youre tall, so you can wear that much weight. Feel good about yourself!

No dude, you're not fat. You're actually probably just about right for your height. Don't sweat it.
