It depends on how tall you are. 160 sounds high for a 13 year old.
What you do is calculate your Body Mass Index. To do this you'll need both height and weight.
(Pounds * 703) / (Inches * Inches).
Normal BMI measurements (for a normal / non-athlete) are between 20 and 25.
To get inches, remember there are 12 inches per foot. If you're 5 foot 5 inches, you're ((5*12)+5) = 65 inches.
For a person who is 160 lbs, they should be between 5'6'' and 6'3''.

Depends on your height and body frame. Go to a website that has a Body Mass Index calculator and it will tell you. A BMI between 20-25 is considered Healthy. BMI is a combination of height and weight that most health practitioners prefer to use.

The BMI (Body mass Index) can tell which category you belong to.
Divide your weight in Kilograms over the square of your height in meters.
If the result between 18-25...you are normal
If the result between 25- 30 ..you are overweight
If the result over 30..you have obesity problem.

First, you need to take before and after pictures. You should take picture of yourself once a month so you can see the difference so you do not give up hope. You are 13. You need to focus on eating no fried foods, no sodas, and get out of the house. ride a bike, play games outside. You can't lose weight feeling sorry for yourself. If you want it make it your goal and take step to achieve your goal.

It depends...if you are under 5'3" then yes, you could stand to lose a few pounds. If you are 5'7" or over, then it's a healthy weight for your height.

Really depends on your height and muscle-to-fat ratio. Muscle has more actual weight than fat does so you may just posess more muscle.
