People say I'm thin, but I think I need to lose about 15 pounds. I'm 11 years old and weigh a whopping 90 pounds. Don't I need to lose some weight?

If you are 11 years old, you do NOT need to lose weight, you simply need to wait until you grow. Many kids your age go thru a "chubby" stage - and then the adolescent growth spurt kicks in and they get lean.
Why do you think you need to lose weight? Who or what in your life put that idea in your head??? If it was a person, stay away from that person - or ignore the comments. If it was the media - movies, magazine ads and so on, just forget about it!
People come in all different shapes and sizes. If you eat healthy foods and get exercise on a regular basis, your body will turn out beautiful and healthy. Just give yourself time to grow up!

Well don't try to find out from one of those internets "fat" tests where they ask for your height and weight. It's total rubbish. I put in mine and the result was that I am obese. I might not be flatly toned or such and might have an unwanted bit on me but there is no way I am obese, I know what obese is and thats not me. Those tests are rubbish.
I'd say that you might want to cut down on the fast food and sugar and carbs but still eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Live by this motto:
Breakfast like a king
Lunch like a worker
Dinner like a beggar

You have a BMI (frame mass index) of 20.four. A healthful BMI is viewed to be both among 18.five and 25, or among 20 and 25; above 25 is chubby, above 30 chubby, and above forty morbidly chubby. Someone with a BMI of beneath 20 don't need to fear approximately being underweight except their BMI is beneath 18.five. Your BMI is flawlessly healthful. However, BMI does now not take frame fats under consideration, on the grounds that it is just a degree of peak and weight. Muscle weighs greater than fats, so any individual with a prime lean muscle tissue and coffee frame fats could look to have a healthful BMI, however truthfully have too little frame fats to be healthful; they might additionally look to have an chubby BMI, however truthfully be at a healthful weight and frame fats degree. Alternately, any individual with little lean muscle tissue and prime frame fats might be viewed to be at a healthful weight in step with BMI, whilst correctly their frame fats is unhealthily prime. However, at your peak and weight - and given that that your peers say that you're skinny - it's surely that sure, you're skinny. (Keep in brain, "now not fats" is not continuously the equal as "skinny"; you can't be skinny and nonetheless now not be fats. Also, "skinny" and "now not fats" don't continuously imply "healthful" or "lovely".) You by and large have disorders together with your frame photograph for a kind of explanations, adding low vanity, the best way that present day society has intertwined a man or woman's self-valued at with their frame photograph (which means that on the grounds that of our tradition, you accomplice feeling indignant, disillusioned, unhappy or customarily disillusioned with feeling fats), or even simply average insecurities approximately your frame.

We can't tell.
It depends on your heigh AND your body structure.
You can have two 20yr old women who are 5'2, 130lbs. One can be overweight and one can be very fit. It depends on how much muscle and your body frame size. Even if you cheerlead, you may have more muscle than the average girl, yknow.
Anyway you can get an IDEA by calculating your BMI (that only relies on height, weight, and sex). Try a child calc here:

Best bet, ask your pediatrician next time you go.
