No, not at all.
In fact, since you're not an adult yet, your body is still forming and shaping itself. Lots of kids your age still have some fat under their skin, and will naturally get leaner as they mature. You shouldn't even worry about going on a diet at this point. Exercise, eat sensibly, and you'll turn out fine. It's dangerous to get started obsessing about your weight and "body fat percentage" at a young age.

My daughter is 5'7" and one hundred twenty lbs. She is slender, and athletic, 25 inch waist, 18% physique fat. you're 3 inches shorter and 7 lbs lighter. I doubt your physique fat is over 25%, that is super for a woman. How lots of a "softie" are you ? you need to use a gadget that measures physique fat. There are handheld units, scales, and interpretations consistent with thickness of fat on the top arm.

"This friend." Uh-huh. Right.
Cripes. You are WAY too thin already. You probably have an eating disorder if you really think you could be fat. Jeeez.
You should weigh about 125 lbs. to be healthy.

At the risk of sounding rude. Good God child get over yourself. Get off the computer, get a life in the real world, enjoy your young years. They'll be over before you know it.

thats just fine, no diet needed at all. You don't want to look too skinny, it's not healthy looking. You both are skinny enough, I am sure.

No your bmi (body mass index) is only 19.4, you are by no means fat.
