You're just fine. Muscle weighs more than fat. That's why you weigh 155 but look 130. As for having a big butt, nothing the matter with that. Look at JLo.

It all depends on how much muscle you have on your body.
155 is not fat by any standards, just perhaps overweight, but again that all depends on your muscle mass.
And at 15, don't worry about your weight. When your older, you'll be dying for the body you have now.

if you are a boy, at 5 feet you should weigh 100# and then add 5 pounds for each inch taller so, you should weigh about 130
if you area girl, at 5 feet then you should weigh 95# and add 5 pounds for each inch taller so you should weigh about 125
but because not everyone that is 5'6" weighs 125-130, there is a 10% +/- fudge factor
so the 130# boy would weigh 117-143 and the girl would weigh 112.5-137.5
good luck

Hey xxgreendayxx...see according to your age and your weight the Body Mass Index (BMI) indicates that you are in a risk of being over-weighted than the normal. Your BMI is 25.0
18.5 - 24.9 Normal -- N/A
25.0 - 29.9 Overweight
But you do not have to worry. You are at a growing stage.
If you do not feel so nice about the way you look physically, my suggestion to you is that you should stop eating junk food and drinking pop drinks. Also, you could exercise more than 3 times a week.

no that's not overweight. I know some people who are shorter and weigh wayyyy more. 155 is just right. if you have a lot of muscle on you then it is great.

No. You sound like you're pretty fit. Muscles? Anyway, guys prefer a girl with a little more junk in the trunk.

I think you should try to loose about 20-30 pounds. You'll be happy cause you will look much better.
