Weight is highly different between people. Don't go by weight or BMI, they don't measure you, they just produce numbers that have been generated to present "normal" and there is no such thing as normal! Go get a scale or device which measure body fat percentage. This is a true representation of how healthy you are. I have it and it works very well for me. I am larger than average up top so my weight and BMI are not accurate since these numbers only take into account average sized women. Body fat percentage devices send an electric pulse through your body to measure. The pulse passes slower through fat than it does water, muscle, etc. Depending on how fast it comes back, the scale can measure your bfp.

According to the CDC growth and height charts for teenage girls, you should weigh between 108 and 112 lbs. Remember we are talking about a teenager here, and this chart won't show your muscle/fat composition.
