Find a BMI chart and look up your numbers. It's hard for me to say yes or no if you are overweight, because I don't know how your weight is distributed. I know when I was 18, I was 136, 5'7" and not feeling fat--wore size 16 (never had a small waist). Now, I've had 2 kids, gotten very lazy and would give anything to be your weight again.
Eat healthy, stay active.

Your BMI is 23. 19 to 24 is normal but you are not thin like BMI 19 is 115. There are more diets than ever and more people dieting than ever and yet we have the fattest society ever. So a lot of these ideas about losing weight, make you fatter. Cutting calories, carbs and fats can cause you to have a weight problem for life. It is better to eat differently. See site below and learn why lean meat and non-fat yogurt are so fattening.
Also salt has no calories but makes you fat. This also has the quickest weight loss possible. Eat good carbs, not bad carbs. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Eat foods made by nature and avoid foods made by man which are designed to make you fat and very addicted to food. Do the ninja warrior diet (not a diet but a diet lifestyle). 5th link on "LINKS" page is BMI calculater to see if you are overweight.

Not sure. But if your doctor says you're normal, you're normal.
