Well, it depends on what decade. We as a people are getting fatter. Muscle weighs more than fat, so exercise. Exercise benefits us so much that I don't think we know all of its wonders. 120 is about right for your height. 20 years ago it would have been 112. The average weights and heights are compiled by health insurance companies If you are a child, there is a lot of growing to do so don't endanger your health because what the scale says. Also, waist size is more important than weight. For women 32 inches or less is optimum and for men 35 inches or less. Measure around where your belly button is. The type of fat in the abdomen was useful in our primitive days of feast or famine. These days, this fat is dangerous because it impairs circulation to important internal organs and a fat belly can predict future heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases. Good luck and take good care of you..

Err... I calculated your BMI for you; and it's 25.2 kg/m2
Depending on your region, 25 might be considered normal or too high. I know that you're definitely not in Asia, thus I'm not sure if you'd call it just a sliggght teeeeeeny wee bit overweight, or if its normal (based on the fact that european/american women have slightly bigger builds than Asians, thus the differences)
But your ideal weight range would be from 41.6Kg to 58Kg, i.e. 92 pounds to 127 pounds.
Its just 1 pound over, so no biggie.
However, this should vary slightly because I don't know if you're more on the muscular or fat side; i.e if you spend more time in the gym or on the couch. If your body mass is higher due to muscle weight, then its ok to be 10 pounds overweight :)
