Weight distributes itself differently depending on the person. But judging from your measurements, you don't seem at all. Don't worry about being too fat for cheerleading, if you're good at it, they'll choose you. I'm sure your weight won't have to do with their decision.

Know if you need to lose weight
Health specialist use a measure called BMI, short for Body Mass Index. Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. This gives a good measure of your total body fat. BMI compares your height and weight. It shows if you are underweight, at a healthy weight, or overweight.
You know how many pounds are there in 1 kg. Do not know let me help you, it is 1 kilogram = 2.20462262 pounds. Check out what your BMI is by using the BMI calculator.

BMI Category
Below 18.5 Underweight
Between 18.5 - 24.9 Healthy Weight
Between 25 - 29.9 Overweight
Over 30 Obese
Look at the BMI chart to find out how much weight you need to lose to move from obese to overweight or from overweight into a healthy range. Knowing this can help you set a good weight loss goal.

You are fine, she is just jealous because she is over weight
5'3", 115 lbs.
Your BMI score is: 20.3
A BMI score of 18.5 to 24.9 indicates you have a healthy body fat ratio. Remember to keep your healthy lifestyle by eating right and exercising.

I think you are worrying too much :) According to your height, you are NOT overweight at all! If you need to reassure, then you can check Body Mass Index (BMI) on this website:
