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.

OKay it's your choice becz here is what I can tell u: Your BMI percentile is 24.4. This simply means that if you stood in a room with a hundred people that 24.4 of them would be skinnier than you and 75.6 of them would be fatter than you, which simply puts you in the healthy zone. BUT the ideal weight is 90-110 lbs. so I would say yeah lose some weight but you don't have to lose more than like 35lbs. at the maximum. Or else you will be at risk for being underweight!Hope I helped!!

NO
5'0", 125 lbs.
Your BMI score is: 24.4
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.

Don't worry about it just yet. You still haven't gone through puberty yet, and when you do you'll end up growing like a weed.
