Well...most answers given here so far dont really help you.
Its sort of blah...blah...
To determine if you are overweight (fat) you need to check out something called "BMI" thats a Body Mass Index
This index is based on medical facts (and not on fashion aspects) and tells you how good in shape you are..wheter you are active or not doesnt matter when it comes to being overweight.
Well, according to this medical chart, you are at highest risk of being overweight.
You should be really careful and start losing weight, or you will be starting to develope health problems.
Here is the link to a site where you can check out your BMI yourself:

Did you know that muscles weigh more than fat?
So you could weigh 147 and not be fat but be very physically fit.
Add in there also, if you have long hair, that can weight up to 5-10 lbs.
I don't understand why there are so many weight vs. height questions on this site. If you feel good, don't worry about it.
We can't all be cookie cutters of each other. Otherwise life would be very boring.

don't worry. You aren't fat. Your body is going threw a lot of stuff right now, it just the age you are. Your weight will probably go up and down for quite a while before it settles. Just stay active, eat healthy, don't smoke or do drugs. You will be fine

This is something only girls ponder...no guy ever walks around and thinks to himself "Am I fat?"....
Anyways, the answer to your question is more than likely no, but you must also realize that is being shown time and again that being too thin is just as bad as being too heavy. The waifishly thin models that people are bombarded with seeing on the runways are probably more unhealthy than most overweight people...
Most people can accept you for you...the question is can YOU accept you for you?

If you have rolls and a big gut, then you are. But then again, within the last 20 years this has been a common thing. To see youngins with rolls around their waist and belly area.

No, not at all! Your weight fluctuates a lot when you are an adolescent. Your body needs lots of exercise and good nutrition to grow properly. Keep doing what you are doing - you sound totally healthy!

If you are as active as you say you are then no. You are prbly goin thru puberty. Females gain large amounts of fat during puberty. I know this cuz i pay attention in health.

It's probably mostly muscle, since you are active. I wouldn't worry about it.
And yes, DON'T send a pic to anyone. If you watch the news, you'll know why.

Do not stop being active: it is the most significant thing.
