Being healthy or not is, at 14, not related to your height and weight. The statistics will show only what is average in a population, not the health of the population. As for adults, statistics will show that the majority of people overweight will tend to have health problems.
The best measurement of your current health status is to answer the question: How many times a year in average to you catch a cold? This will tell you if your immune system is working well, the best defender of your health, and also the best measure.
Don't worry about weight until you hit 18, unless you start seeing your tummy bulge, in which case you should increase the amount of physical activity: sports, exercise etc...
If you feel healthy now, keep it up, and to maintain it try to avoid the biggest error American teens make: to drink SODAS to satisfy thirst. Sodas are full of simple sugars that immediately deposit in the body as body fat if one does not exercise properly, or if your metabolism does not burn sugar fast enough.

u can use an index called "body mass index' to see if u r over weight or not... the health of a person depends on the diseases he z having and obesity plays a major role... BMI=weight in kg/height in metres....... according to this calculation ur BMI=23.8
the ranges of BMI
underweight<18.5
normal=18.5-24.9
overweight=25-29.9
obese=30-39.9
extremely obese=>40....... so u have a proper BMI... ur weight is normal to the height... but health of a person depends on many factors.. it may be reduced dur to nutrient deficiency, hereditary disorders or poor life style

Yeah, you're fine. Don't take BMI values too seriously, they aren't very accurate for many people - especially people who are very athletic or muscular.
