That is perfectly normal for her height...
Here is statistical information
BMI = Body Mass Index
1 - 18 = Underweight
19 - 24 = Desirable
25 - 29 = Overweight
30 - 39 = Obese
40+ = Morbidly Obese
Due to your sisters height and weight, your sister scores a 21. This means she is right in the middle or normal weight, there is no need to fret.

She sounds like a good weight, for her height.
And anyway, she's still growing. So make sure she doesn't go on any stupid diets! That's very unhealthy at her age.
She shouldn't be worried about being 'fat' yet.

She is at a good weight. I am 5'2 and 115 pounds and I wouldn't change a thing.

well the height seems alright, but just consult w/ her doctor.
It can also be that she thinks she is fat due to all that stuff on tv.
Pressure from the media and friends that always wanna be skinny.
