It sounds like it's in the right range -- the most important thing is that you FEEL healthy. How do you feel after climbing a set of stairs? Or running a 100 meters or so?
It sounds like you feel healthy, so you are probably OK. If you gain some weight, you'll probably still be healthy, so don't try and restrict your diet, OK?

I think you are just fine. I am 5'2" & 103 pounds too! I am pretty active and have always had a high metabolism. (I take after my dad.) The only difference is that I am A LOT older than 12 and 8 months. I have always been smaller framed and always will be, I'm sure. If you are concerned, cruise on the internet and do a little homework on the subject or go see a doctor for a medical opion.

You have to go by what feels right for you. Only YOU can answer that. Doctors think they can, but how do you feel? if your blood work and blood pressure are in the healthy range you are good. I am 5'6 and weigh 203 lbs. which some consider HUGE, but I feel wonderful, cholesterol is 115, bp is 90/50, blood sugars are great, and I feel great. So you can't go by the scale.

Why would you ask this question to strangers on the internet? Do you look and feel healthy? Does your doctor think you are healthy?
That's all that should matter. Don't look for validation from strangers.

Considering your age... its hard to say. But you need to find your BMI (body mass index) and see if you are underweight, normal, overweight or obese.
try this link to see what your BMI is.....
but remember this is also calulated for adults.... consult your doctor if you think you are at an unhealty weight. I'm sure he/she can give some great advise to help.
