moderately, yes...maybe. but not by much. a healthy weight at the exact height of 5'3 is 105-140 pounds. but considering you aren't positive of your height you might not be overweight. the healthy weight of someone with the height of 5'2 is 101-136. The healthy weight of someone with the height of 5'4 is 108-145. soooo depending on your exact weight you may or may not be overweight, but if you aren't, you're very close. And if you are...you're aren't by much. Here where I got my info ....http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

You are in the 25th percentile for height. The 25th percentile for weight would be about 112 lbs.
Your body mass index is 25.7 which puts you near the 85th percentile. That's more than you want it to be. Your BMI should be under 24 (75th percentile). The ideal 50th percentile BMI is about 21.25 for an 18 year old woman. For you at 5'3", that's 120 lbs. Good luck. The effort you put into weight control now will pay dividends decades later.

I am the same height as you. I think you should be more like 125 at the most. At your age, I weighed 104 lbs, but that was too light and I was always sick.
