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

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.

Overweight is an extreme word to describe you. To me you just seem to be a couple of pounds above your normal weight but that is definetly not considered OVERWEIGHT. Your body goes through a lot of changes during this time in your life. Just eat healthy and excercise when you can. Your body's fine just the way it is. :)

You're fine. Make sure you get a lot of exercise and stay active to keep yourself toned. When your not as tall you have to watch your weight because even if you gain 5-10 lbs it will show. Good luck!!!
