Oh my....
That is such a hard question to answer, especially to someone so young.
Technically, the IBW (ideal body weight) is something like 100 pounds at 5 feet, then 5 pounds for each inch over the 5 feet. I am assuming you are a young lady (these are numbers for women). If I recall, those are the numbers. Anyhow, you also have BMI (body mass index). Look it up on the internet. But...are you muscular? "Big-boned" as they say? Simple numbers don't always tell the story!
My advice to you...and this is personal, non-medical advice!!! Forget the numbers. Are you healthy? Are you happy with who you are...inside and out? If you're worried about weight...do something proactive. Common sense type stuff.
Be smart about your situation. Identify what you see as a weakness (for example, mine is fast food) and make a change (I allow myself to have fast food once a week...seems like a lot, but it is a huge change for me).
Before you make any decisions, though, regardless of any of these posts here...talk to your doctor! Your doctor is the only person who can help you decide whether you should be "freaked out" or come up with a plan in a sensible, healthy fashion!!!
Be happy with yourself. I have found that to be the biggest ingredient in my life!!!!!!

According to your height of 5' 6" your ideal healthy weight is 130 pounds. Your recommended weight range is between 123 and 154 pounds.

That's pretty normal if you ask me. Don't worry, if you're not comfortable with your weight, go to a nutrition specialist and they can help you get to your desired weight. By your height, you're pretty much at the weight you should be. At least you're not a toothpick like Hilary Duff. It's your choice, just dont take it to extremes

Relax, you're about the ideal weight for your height right now. You're probably going to grow a bit taller in the next few years, so having a bit of extra weight now isn't a big deal.

Well, your very close to normal weight, so I wouldn't be freaked out quite yet.If you shoot up another 10 pounds in less then a year, then you should start worrying.

Learn how your body works. Study the glycemic index and how your body processes food. Its all there on the internet.

Your weight is proportionate to your height. You shouldn't worry.
