Thanks for all your advice, however he's my nephew and I'm trying to convince his mother to take him for a check up as the last one he had was when he was 5.

I would say between 90 and 120 lbs is normal.........ask your doc next time you go to check your weight and height and ask for advice! Pediatricians use a scale for percentiles!

A little pudge is okay and pretty normal at that age (lots of growth and changes going on). If the kid is so overweight that the fat has to roll to fit, then he's overweight. Kids should not visibly look more than fairly pudgy (and like I said, it's normal to add a little weight with growth changes) and only then if it's a growth thing.

Are you really going to rely upon what some idiot claims he knows as far as a "normal weight." Take your child for a yearly physical exam and ask the doctor this question. If you can afford internet, then you can afford to take your child to the doctor once a year. Sigh...

Between 80 to 100 lbs. Join him in activities and not just expect him to play with his friends and loose it....
