You are not overweight for your height.
The best thing you can do is dump your boyfriend and get a new one.

At your height and weight, you have a Body Mass Index of 18.8 - this puts you in the normal weight range (18.5 to 24.9). You would only be classed as overweight if you had a BMI of more than 25. In fact, if you had a BMI of less than 18.5, that would make you underweight.
It sounds to be that there is nothing for you to worry about weightwise, and for whatever reason your bf is attempting to make you insecure. At 17 you may not even be finished growing, so no-one should be passing judgement on your weight, especially when you are at the lower range of a normal BMI.
Tell your bf that there is no problem, other than in his own sick mind. The link below will show you a correct BMI.

Don't pay any attention at all to that boyfriend. Your ideal weight is 103 pounds for your height and weight, and that is just fine. I would wonder why he feels he needs to comment on your weight at all...is he controlling in other areas, too? Does he not want you to see other people, questions where you've been? If so, get out of that relationship ASAP.
If he isn't controlling and you want to stay in the relationship, simply have him go onto the Internet, choose the search engine he wants to use and then put in the key words: ideal weight. That will pull up a chart or calculator that allows him to put in your height and weight. The number "103" will show up - and if that doesn't make him hush up about this topic, I'd totally ignore him! You're doing fine - great work!

I have just worked out your body mass index (which calculates how much whether or not you are a healthy weight for your height). A healthy reading is between 21 - 25. You work out as 18/19 so you are actually underweight. Your bf is wrong about you putting on too much weight (maybe he just prefers REALLY skinny women). Your age has no impact on your body mass index. Doctors usually use your body mass index as a guide and this is why s/he hasn't said anything.

You are absolutely fine, but your boyfriend sounds like kind of a jerk... If you click on the link below, you can calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index). You can come out either underweight, overwieght, or normal for your height, and this is all based upon your gender and age too, since you are still a minor. You are NORMAL and HEALTHY though!!! If your boyfriend wants a super skinny (i.e., probably unhealthy) girl, tell him to go stick it. If you want to double-check and feel more sure, ask your doctor for his/her thoughts next time you visit their office.

You are about the same size as me, and I am shorter and a couple pounds more. HECK NO YOU ARE NOT WEIGHING TOO MUCH!!!! Your boyfriend is a jerk. That is insane. You are more than healthy, you shouldn't worry about your weight, you are gorgeous I am sure!!! I can't believe he said that to you, I am sorry but that blows me away. You should ditch him and save some heartbreak. Especially if he wants an anorexic chick. Whoever your with should love you for YOU. NOT YOUR WEIGHT!!! You are more at risk of being too thin. Please realize your worth! You are beautiful, and fine the way you are!!!

You're at the perfect weight for your height, right around 19 BMI. Below 102 is considered underweight. Tell your boyfriend to shut up, he doesn't know what he's talking about. You're skinny! Almost unhealthy.

You are fine. The only weight need to lose is that dead-weight boyfriend of yours, for telling you that you are putting on too much weight

You're only about eight and a half stones. That isn't overweight. I think the only excess weight you are carrying is your current boyfriend who appears to be a complete knob.

Tell your boyfriend to go f*ck himself. He should love you no matter what size you are and he certainly does not have the right to say you are putting on 'too much' weight!
