I was about the same when i was her age... shes just a tiny girl. Shes also still only twelve so she hasnt hit her growth spurt or anything. I would start worrying when shes 16 and still 80 lbs, thats a bit irregular pending on height of course.

Well the size of her frame, how much muscle she has and how "developed" she is would surely factor in but I can tell you my mother's adult height is 4'11(poor little thing) she has a medium frame and she has always been a healthy weight (thin but not skinny) and she varies between 95-105 so it sounds like 80lbs for 3 inches shorter would be right on target.

sounds normal to me. i weigh 81 pounds and i am 12 and i am 4 ft 9. thats the only difference. the doctor told me i am a healthy weight! dont stress it. if you think she is underweight then you should mabey start feeding her more...and ask her what is going on with her weight? but for now, i think it a healthy weight!
GOOD LUCKY!!

the average weight for a 12 year old is 94 lbs and 60.5 inches tall.
I would guess it is just normal although she is on the slimmer side of things.

She is a child for crying out loud! Look at her. Does she have a "spare tire" , Huggie bear handles, Saggy boobs? You should be able to tell if she is overweight without our help. If there is a problem here I don't feel as though it is with the child.

She's fine. You might keep an eye on her weight though. If she gains faster than she grows it could develop into a problem later.

its considered as over-weight for her age. You should consider on giving her more exercise.
