It doesn't sound like you are fat to me. It sounds like you are quite healthy despite the fact that you don't like your body type or shape. If you want to know what your % body fat is, you should have a skin fold test done. It is a reasonably accurate assesment of body fat. I'd would guess based on your meassurements, that you think your legs are too big. If you are active and play soccer, your legs and hips are probably just muscular, which gives them their shape. Your BMI ( which is a flawed assesment of health) is 20.8, which is very healthy, and quite far from being overweight. You may not like your body shape, and you might not have a "perfect" body by American standards, but you are not fat.

no you are not fat.
when you finish going through puberty, your body will be different than it is right now. you may not like what you see in the mirror today, but remember at this stage in your life, your body will be changing on a daily basis. keep up with the exercise, and be patient, you will probably like what you see in a few more years.
the body fat calculator on line doesn't take into consideration how much muscle you have, and muscle weighs more than fat does, so don't believe the one you used on line.

You aren't fat. Sounds to me like you have a eating disorder. The calculator tells you that you are normal (maybe even underweight) and the weight/height chart (see below) says that you are perfectly normal.....but you "disgust" yourself....??
You need help. Get into counseling or you are going to have this problem your whole life.
