Your brother is probably as self conscious about how thin he is as you are about your weight. If you genuinely have a good reason to think that you're overweight, you could try going on a diet and exercising but do not do it just because you want to be as thin as your brother. Every person is different.

Well, you main problem is that you are comparing yourself to your brother. Men and women are built differently. Our bodies and most importantly, our METABOLISM works differently. That might explain why he is thin as a rail.
My advice is to ignore him and his body type and just concentrate on what is bothering you specifically. If you are unhappy with your legs or abs, research some good exercises and get active! You might be surprised. :-)

Take your fingers and pull some skin off your abdomen and "roll" it gently with your fingers. If it's thicker than 1" you probably could stand to lose weight.
