can you pinch an inch of fat on you belly or buttocks?
do your arms droop?
do you have excess skin under your chin?
these can be better indicators.
muscle to fat not weight to height!
That BMI calculator is crap!!!!!!!!!!!
Try putting in the best NFL Player, the link is below, The MVP of the NFL would be obese according to the calculator!!!

Your BMI (body mass index), is 25. That is at the edge of being overweight. 24 is normal, 25 is "overweight". But you also have to consider your frame, think about where you carry your weight. Don't worry about it, you seem like you're still young. Weight fluctuates during your teens. If you don't like the way you look, you best bet will be to walk a mile 3 days a week and eat less sugar and fatty foods. If you don't feel fat or heavy, don't worry about it. You only have to please yourself, don't let ANYONE ever tell you that you're fat.

the amount of body fat determines if a person is overweight, etc. height and weight is irrelevant if the person has a substantial amount of fat free mass.
I have some female friends that are 5'1 and 5'2 and 165 lbs in the off season when they are not competing and they are surely not overweight. body composition determines increased/reduced health risks, not total body weight

It is a little heavy. I would talk to a docter to find out what your Ideak weight should be. I am 5'8" and my weight has to be at least 145 pounds. You may need to start eating healthier, DONT SKIP MEALS!!! Your body will store it and it will turn to fat if you skip meals. Also drink pleanty of water and some exercise. Mabey join a Sport group. They have them for all ages.

It depends on how much muscle you have, your age, and body condition.
