This all depends on your height and your level of activity. You can see if you are healthy by using the BMI system. If your BMI is over 24.9, then you are overweight. If it is under 19, then you are underweight. But if it comes out too high and you are super athletic, don't worry. That is just your muscle mass.
Sometimes short people can be at a "healthy" weight for their height, but still have too much body fat. Maybe you should take a fat percentage test to truly see if you're overweight. Get this done at the doctor's or a local gym.

If you're a guy, no. One of my friends is overweight, 240 pounds at 13 years of age.
If you're a gal, maybe. His sister weighs about 180, at like 11 years, barely over 5 ft.

You need to calculate your BMI for a better idea on just how over weight you might be. If you a quite tall you are not over weight.
