I'm 15, 5"2' and about 120lbs. I've gained about 15lbs since last summer (coincidentally, my Grandfather who I was very close to died last summer.)
I am aware that I'm still in the healthy bmi range...but I don't look as toned as I used to and am really unhappy with my figure now.

Do you play any sports? When I was in high school, I gained weight from playing tennis and field hockey, but my clothing size essentially stayed the same. As long as you are active or become more active, you will be fine.
That said, your own self esteem is what is most important. If you are unhappy with the way you look, do some things to change. Walk more. Try some new make up. Wear different clothes. Read some good books. Do things to boost how you feel on the inside, that is what's most important.

I would not say you have a weight problem, no.
But if you keep on doing what you're doing now, (what you eat & if you exercise), you will have one.
Do your best to get back on track to a healthier lifestyle. Eat lots of protein (chicken/fish/meat/eggs), brown rice & veggies, and make sure to work out for at least 30 minutes a day.
You'll be back to your old figure & feeling great in NO TIME!!!
You could even do all this over the summer and be back to school all buff like you were last year.
Best time to work out is in the morning. And make sure you eat breakfast, lunch & dinner, and snack in between, but not after dinner.

At 15, you have a lot of developing your body is going through! Maybe you're in for getting taller! It's normal to feel insecure about how you look, but the best you can do at this young age is try to eat right and stay physical! Get in your vegies and fruits, fist full of meat, whole grain/wheat products, and low-fat dairy, keep water with you to stay hydrated, and engage in sports activities with friends like swimming and volleyball, or other outdoor fun. Join a school sport! You have so many options at your age and a high metabolism. Do pushups and leg-lifts? Do your best!

I wouldn't say you have a weight problem, but you might want to accept that you've been eating a lot to fill the void of losing you Grandfather. I suggest eating healthier for a while and exercise. Play a sport or jog.

you're not overweight at all. most people do gain weight during the summer but the best way to loose it is to exercise and drink lots of water. i lost 10 pounds in a month by exercising, drinking lots of water and cutting down the junk food. i'm sure you can get your toned body back. good luck!

Yeah, you're at a fine weight but you could go down to like 105 if you wanted to and still be in your weight range.

Your not big or anything. Nothings wrong with your weight. If you want, just try to tone up a little.

My cousin started eating to much when she got really depressed, so just watch yourself. You're OK for now though.
