This is such a loaded question and there is no GOOD answer. It really depends on your body ... do you have a lot of muscle? Do you have rolls of fat hanging over your waistband? Can you walk briskly and maintain a normal conversation? Do you eat a healthy diet? Do you exercise regularly? Are you very petite or are you broad-shouldered and wide-hipped?
All of this plays a factor in whether or not you can be considered "overweight." The very best thing you can do is ask your DOCTOR and have a BMI analysis.

Your fine Hayden you could be between the range up to 158 pounds and still be within the 80th percentile.

I think that is fine. it really depends on your bone structure and how big your parents were. if you are really concerned you can just go into google.com and type in BMI which calculates if you over/under weight.
