Muscle weighs more than fat. You might also be very tall, so you might weigh alot but it doesnt matter since you would be tall. The fat is dispersed throught the body, so it doesn't make you look fat. Also, bieng taller, you bones would be bigger and more developed, which would mean more weight! :)

It's probably muscle. Before the beginning of summer, I was 130 and I didn't have too much muscle, but then I went on a hiking/outdoor stuff trip for a month, got a lot of muscle, went down 3 sizes, but I was still 130.

I don't know if it's the same for girls as for boys but I got the same comments, and the weight was all in my thighs and calves.

It's not just weight that you should concider, but distribution of weight. It depends on your body type.
