You probably have a lot of muscle which is more dense than fat - you weight more than you look you do.
just stay active and toss the scale -its irrelevant at the moment for you - it doesnt show you how much muscle or body fat percentage you have which is more important. Plus - weight changes during the day and during the monthly cycle.
You have a lot of growing to do so give your body all the best you can so it reaches its full potential.

At 5'3" your weigt is perfect. 115 is the very lowest you should be at that height, and 120 is right in the middle of the healthy range!
