I think you are fine but if you really want to know go to a gym or personal trainer and get assessed. Lots of answers have quoted BMI which is now been proven to not be that accurate because it just divides your height by your weight. You might be a 100kg bodybuilder who is only 5% fat but who will come up as overweight as BMI doesn't take muscle into consideration just overall weight. A fitness instructor will measure various points around your body then calculate a percentage lean muscle mass and percentage body fat which is way more accurate than BMI. An healthy female is 18-27% body fat. 28-32.9% body fat is moderately overweight

A lot of it depends on your body type. There are people who will never be skinny, even if they don't weight much. A person with a heavier build may weigh more and still be in good shape, even if the BMI says differently.
If you have a heavier build (wider shoulders, wider hips, etc) then you may be quite within your range. If not, you may be a little over. That's not saying your fat. But if you are looking to be in perfect condition, you may want to look into changing your lifestyle a little.
Hope that helps!

NO! I'm 19, 5'5'' and 180lbs... I'M FAT!! seriously though I actually have overhang! I'm not proud of if but that's what happens when you get lazy about your appearance and you continue to suffer from intense pain caused by a sports injury that will probably last your whole life, and get depressed from it at times.
No, when I was 16 same height I was 138lbs and was nice and thin and six packed... so NO YOU AREN'T FAT AT ALL your within the better part of normal range

You are not fat.
Your BMI (body mass index) is 24.1
See the chart below. You are within the normal range.
If you weighed 125 your BMI would be 20.8, also within the normal range.

* Underweight = <18.5

You might be a little fat. Look up a Body Mass Index (BMI) online calculator for a more accurate assessment.

that's not fat, but maybe chunky. The deal is if you're asking this question on here you're obviously not happy with yourself. Start running or working out. Give yourself something to be proud of instead of wondering if you're fat.

NO.
According to your body mass index, your weight is still within normal range. But you might wanna watch your calory intake before crossing over to the overweight side..
