wow, youre really tall
Hey your BMI is actually pretty normal- You're a tall woman so 150 isnt bad at all- and there is nothing abnormal about butt and thighs being a little bigger on a female. Everyone has a different body type- that happens to be yours.
I dont know how you look like- but for the sake of argument if you might have excess fat around your butt and hips. Its actually healthy fat. fat that gathers in the midsection is of more concern- that kind is developed by cholesterol
Your in good weight health!

I would be a lot if you were 5'3, but you are a very tall girl. 150 is actually pretty thin because to calculate ideal weight you get 100 lbs for being 5ft and 5 lbs for every inch after that - so your ideal weight would be 155. Be ahppy...you're tall and skinny!

You're 71 inches tall and pretty much right in the middle of your weight class according to this chart.
But you also want to look at your Body Mass Index that's the fat to muscle ratio. That's the number which will predict your overall health prospects.

YES! Plus women look better with some butt and thighs. Have you really looked at the women who are skinny in these areas? They look like 13 yr. old kids!

Your BMI (Body mass index) is 20.9, which is well within normal weight. 20-25 = normal weight, 26-30 = overweight, 31+ = obese. Anything under 19 is underweight.

Using Body Mass Index (BMI) you are well within a healthy weight range.
BMI is the measure of body fat based on total height and weight of an adult.

It depends on if and when you began puberty, as well as genetics. The average 13/14 year old is probably around 5'2" and weighs around 115
