I would have to say yes, but as with everything in life there are stipulations to that. It has a lot to do with your body type and such also. For instance I am 5'3 and weigh 180. I am stalky. I don't look fat but my doctor says I am obese. The healthy weight according to my docotr for my size is 135. So the best thing I can tell you is your doctor may not always be correct check around and do some research first, before you decide that you are fat and need to diet.

Yes it is, you are not overweight, you are at the higher end of the healthy weight range. Although, this does not give an indication of your body fat percentage which should be no more than 32% if you are female an no more than 25% if you are male. HTH.

To tell you the truth, someones weight may be healthy for that person but not another. It all depends on your body structure and everything else. If you are truly worried about this then go to the doctors and ask them. Hope you find you answer
