Your doctor, or perhaps the school nurse, would be best qualified to answer the question about whether or not you're overweight. However... people of any weight can benefit from eating healthy and exercising regularly, provided they're already in good health.
I like to eat as many whole, unprocessed foods as possible, avoid concentrated sugars except as infrequent treats, and exercising daily is a good habit to get in to. I have a 13 year old, and she wants to eat healthier but hates vegetables.
It takes motivation sometimes to want to like the things that are good for you. My tastes didn't change to start liking good, healthy food until I was in my 20s and 30s. I'd be a healthier person now if I was able to cultivate good eating habits sooner.
Learn to cook with whole ingredients. Seriously avoid packaged convenience foods. And exercise, if you can find a sport you like and get involved in it, that should cover it. And cut out soda, diet and regular. Just learn to live without it, it's poison. When I want to indulge in something carbonated, I have a little flavored--unsweetened--seltzer. Not every day, but it's enough like soda to please.
