You may have a stomach that looks fat but you are NOT overweight. You can tone your stomach if it looks fat but you do not need to loose weight. There is a big difference between being out of shape and being overweight. You cannot just look at your stomach to tell if you are fat or not. If you don't like the looks of your stomach area then do some exercises to but at 12 you are still developing and will slim out some in that area.

Let's see, 12 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall, and 120 pounds...the winner is...NOT FAT. You're almost perfectly average. Do yourself a favor -- don't worry about being overweight or having too much body fat until you're 21. Your weight is going to fluctuate quite a bit from now until then, and that's just part of your body's natural development. The best thing you can do for yourself now is get into the habit of getting regular exercise (even if it's just a brisk walk every day) and building your diet around "good for you" stuff while keeping the "bad for you" stuff to a minimum. Don't obsess about your weight. Young people like you (especially females) who obsess about their weight usually become anorexic or bullimic. It's not worth it. Just eat healthy and exercise and your body will take care of itself.

Depending on your body's structure the weight range for you is 109 lbs to 115 lbs but doesn't take into consideration muscle mass. If you're very active physically, you're fine, otherwise may slightly overweight. Good luck and good health

You're not fat at all! I'm 5'3" and 140 lbs, and I'm a very healthy weight for my height. Men like women with some curves, and at 120, you're not even close to that.
