It depends on his height, with this information, you can find his BMI, body mass index. Health and nutrition professionals use this method.
Try finding his BMI.
* STEP 1: Grab a calculator, pencil and piece of paper.
* STEP 2: Understand that the formula for BMI = weight ÷ (height x height). Weight is represented in kilograms; height is represented in meters.
* STEP 3: Determine your weight in kilograms. To do this, divide your weight (in pounds) by 2.2. For example, 150 lbs ÷ 2.2 = 68.2 kilograms. Write this number on your paper.
* STEP 4: Determine your height in meters by dividing your height (in inches) by 39.37. Know that there are 12 inches in 1 foot. For example, 64 inches ÷ 39.37 = 1.626 meters.
* STEP 5: Square your height in meters. In other words, multiply your height times itself. For example: 1.626 meters x 1.626 meters = 2.644 meters. Write this number on your piece of paper.
* STEP 6: Divide your answer from number 3 by your answer for number 6. In this example, 68.2 kilograms ÷ 2.644 meters = 25.79. This number represents your BMI.
BMIs between 20 and 25 is ideal, 30 is considered obese.

Depends upon how tall he is. If you're worried about his weight, then talk to your doctor. If he's hitting his growth spurt, you don't want to try to diet him. And while fat is a problem for children, great care should be exercised dieting them, because they are growing, and they need the vitamins, proteins & minerals necessary for strong bones, strong muscles and brain growth.
