shes definitly not fat, shes a little more than normal though. Girls that are 5'4" should usually weigh around 120-130. A better way to answer this is to have her do a BMI test and see how much body fat she actually has. I dont think she hs anything to worry about, just keep telling her she looks fine becaause im sure she does.

Tell your friend that according to the BMI (body mass index), she is where she should be, on the high end of the normal range for her height; however, if she gains about 5-10 more pounds, she wil be considered overweight.

Well if you were a good friend then you wouldn't worry about her looks you would worry about her personality.
Seventeen.com has a BMI calculator that tells you if the person is healthy but you need her age to tell.

She doesn't sound fat to me. If she wants to look slimmer, suggest that she try some cardio workouts or even better, yoga, which can elongate the body and tones every muscle!

all I know is I am 5'6 and 145lb. When I do my BMI it is on the high end of normal. She maybe border line over weight. I would just encourage her to do more physical activities. Maybe you two could take up tennis together or something! :)

That is pretty heavy. I am unsure if she is fat but that isn't the norm weight for that height

No she is not. According to her BMI she is a normal weight.
