If you are overweight only your body fat percentage can tell (should be less than 25% for women) -the scale and bmi are pretty irrelevant and only for you and your doctor to know.
Since muscle is about 30% more dense than fat you could be healthy and muscular weighting 160lbs but if you dont have a lot of muscle then you are a little overweight.
Never starve yourself. Eat 5-6 small meals a day, drink lots of water and do cardio 4-6 times a week for average of 45min plus some light weight training a couple of times a week.
Choose whole grains, lean meats, soy and milk products, legumes, fruit and veggies.

well im going to be blunt, you probably aren't fat and i dont want to be mean but you wanted an honest answer, im 5'8 and weigh around 118 pounds and its just border line underweight so it wouldnt hurt you to shed some pounde like 5-10 which is not a lot at all...and all you need to do is exercise, drink water, and eat healthy.....and are you really muscular because muscle weighs more than fat and so you might be strong and in which case you are perfectly healthy...i hoped that helped, and sorry for being honest

how is anybody gonna tell you if your fat by looking at numbers?? everybody is different. you have to take into account muscle, bone structure, etc.... if YOU think you are overweight then do something about it. who cares what anybody else thinks.
