Alright Mr. Rickster, you just wait till im on level 2 then I'm going to rate you! lol. anyway, youre 12... yes. also youre 5'6". let me tell you something. im 17, 5'7" and 150lbs... am I fat? no, im not. i could use a bit more muscle, but i dunno if you knew this, muscle weighs more than fat, so once i start gaining muscle, who knows, i could get up to 160. (but i hope not)
youre also going to grow a bit more, so youll probably gain a few more pounds. but think, its not fat that youre gaining, its... YOU your bones are growing, along with the rest of you. so just think.

Listen you aren't done reaching your potential height yet. Don't get so worked up by the numbers on the scale. What will keep you happy and feeling great is a few hours of moderate excersize a week. Ride your bike, swim, play basketball or what ever you find enjoyable. Keeping active will help you feel great everyday and not asking if you are fat. You also don't need any crazy diets or excersize plans at this age you are very young. Eat right and ask your parents to help store healthy snacks in the house. There are so many resources available for you and if you want ways to be active look into local non for profit organizations that work with young girls. You will be suprised what help you can find that will get you active and build your self esteem, much more than you will find here with people who don't have your best interest at heart.

Not even close, you look very slim. Your weight is fine. If you are worried that you weigh more than the other girls your age/height, it is probably because you have a higher muscle mass, but your body fat is likely to be pretty low. HTH : )

I do not think so. If you feel comfortable in your body at the size that you are, that is what counts.
