120 isn't that big. You should do whatever you feel, though. As long as its not drastic, like anorexia.

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

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 need to lose a few pounds, but if you feel healthy, just exercise and eat healthier. That should help you gain the muscle that you need and lose the excess fat that you don't need. Good luck!

Well, it depends if you are happy with how you look. If you think you are overweight, try and exercise and eat healthier. If you think you're looking a bit thin, find a healthy way to gain some. If you are completely happy right now with your appearance, stay the same :)

At your height you should probably be between like 85-100 or so

my friend also encounters that problem.
i think you should try just to minimize you foods eaten and try to do some work outs not by making too much exercises just like by doing some household chores. that would really help you.
