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
Over 30 Obese
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.

Look up "body weight index" on the net. Put in your measurements and the program will tell you. However I think you look good :>

It depends upon your bone structure and over-all build but yours is not an overweight weight at all. No, you are not fat.

No, for your height you can weigh anywhere between 98lb and 132lb, so you are right in the middle. You are average. HTH : )

No, that is perfect! I'm 5'1 and I've been as high as 125lb and still looked great. I've also been as low as 109lbs and people thought I looked sick at that weight. 115-120lb is what my doc says is perfect for a woman who is 5'1.
