Hi there,
The short answer to your question is NO! The average weight for a girl with your height is as following:
small frame 126-139
medium frame 136-150
large frame 146-167
The problem many girls have is that they compare themselves to models and movie stars who are VERY unhealthy. Be happy to be who you are and realize that you are not fat.
If you want to increase your self confidence, I suggest working out by doing cardio and weight training. You won't get bulky and look like a guy, don't worry!
I wish you the best.
Blessings,
Mike
PS- I've included a link to the height/weight chart in the resource box below :-)

Your BMI, which is a general system to determine if you're overweight, is 22.2 based on calculations. The normal range is Normal weight = 18.5-24.9, so you are fine. See the source link for BMI calculation.

You're not overweight, in fact, that's a healthy weight! But everyone is different, because some people have bigger muscles and things like that. I calculated your BMI for you and it says you're healthy, just right.

I hope not! I'm 3 pounds under you and about 4 inches shorter!!
You're probably just right, nothing's as bad as it seems.

That depends if that weight is all fat, all muscle, or maybe you could even just have heavy organs, remember numbers are just numbers, you're probably fine.

Nope. If your concerned try something for toning, but I wouldn't worry about losing weight.

I think that sounds like a healthy weight for someone your height.
