I'm 13 yrs old and I'm 120-125 lbs, but I'm in gymnastics so I think some of my weight could be muscle but I have about an inch of fat, noticable fat around my stomach. Am I fat?

Don't worry, when I was 13 I weighed about 120 pounds too, and yes I thought I was fat. So what I decided to do was correct my eating habits by not eating junk food (chips, candy, soda, ect) and added some exercise. I am now 14 and weigh about 110 pounds and I feel great :)
By the way, I'm not saying you need to lose weight, you just need to be happy with who you are.

Hey, ya know what? I was exactly the same when I was growing up. Age 13ish, I was 120-125 pounds, and super active.
I lost a lot growing up. Make sure you're drinking lots of water, so you aren't retaining any.
I'm 25 and weight 110 lbs, and I haven't dieted ever. You're just growing, and your body will need some extra weight to grow properly. It'll balance out.

NO.
Gymnastics is a sport where unfortunately weight is always an issue.
Your a healthy weight.
Unless you work out insane amount of hours a day you will always have some fat(and even that doesn't always work). That's part of being a female, it's genetic. Your body needs a certain percent of fat. Too much or too little is not good. Your description sounds like your just fine.

That depends on how tall you are. I was nearly 6 foot tall when I was your age. I weighed about the same as you do. I was rail thin, even though most girls my age weighed far less. Muscles do weigh a lot. It sounds like you stay physically fit. You should worry less about what the scale says. Worry about eating a healthy diet and exercising.

What is your height? Check online for the Body Mass Index. 120-125 lbs is ideal for someone who is 5'7" or 5'8" tall. Furthermore, it is common to have fatty tissues around the abdomen. Women especially have more fat deposits than men.That alone doesn't constitute obesity.

It depends on how tall you are., if you're taller than that isn't bad. I know when I was 13 I was 5'2" and 125 and that wasn't bad at all. Update this with your height.

No, that is perfectly fine and if you are gymnast, then you must have plenty of muscle, I bet your body fat is pretty low, so stay as you are. HTH : )

No. Now if you're 13, you need your sleep so go to bed.........
You've got plenty of time to develop and grow. Worry about it when you're 18. After growing has for the most part ceased.
