your are still in your teens and will go through alot more changes before you reach adulthood.
your not overwirght. you have some baby fat that you have not shed off yet.
Are you into any sports or outdoor activities? If not got out and enjoy the outdoors. sign up for something. any activity will be healthy for you and make you feel better, dont forget it will shed the baby fat.
If your are athletic your BMI does not reflect you muscle mass. Muscle wieghs more than fat.
You can look up what BMI is on the internet.
Dont fret about it your still young and you will be fine.
Keep your chin up!!!

Not at all since you are 15 an 5'3 for you to avtually be considered over weight you would have to be over 135 plus there could be the factor of muscle. If you have alot of muscle you would weigh more. muscle weighs more than fat. And why be skinny just work out more. it's better to have tone than bone.

Heck no. That's a healthy weight. Healthy as in where you should be, (not healthy as a euphemism for fat). You need to discuss these feelings with your parents, a trusted adult (minister, school counselor), or a doctor.
