Seriously. Google a BMI calculator. You have nothing to worry about.

Not at all! I would say that you are perfect! The traditional way of measuring is that for 5 feet of height, you should weigh 100 lbs. For each inch over 5', add 5 lbs. Now of course, everyone is built differently--small boned to large boned, etc., but Healthy is the key word. I really hope and pray that the skinny, waifish look is over and done. Even Kate Moss looks better with a little more weight on her, although it still wouldn't hurt her to eat a cookie or two. You should be consuming at least 1200 cal per day and at your age, you could go up to 1800cal if you are active. Good for you! You are probably beautiful as well.

You probably know that the issue of being overweight vs. obese or underweight rests not just simply on your weight, but also your height, muscle mass, and general build. For all intents and purposes, the best measure of this proportion is the body mass index, or the BMI. The BMI factors both your weight and height into a signle number that describes your weight in proportion to your height. Your estimated BMI is 21, what does this mean. Clinically, we use the BMI to differentiate between underweight (BMI<18), normal range weight (up to 25), overweight (25-30), and obese (greater than 30). The BMI is calculated by dividing your weight by th your height to the power of 2. Given that your BMI is 21, you're quite where you want to be as far as weight goes.

Your height is 5'3" and weight 120 pounds-that does not factor in how much is fat and how much is muscle? That makes a real difference. But if it is a physically fit body then you are probably not over weight.
