For some people, they weigh a lot but appear pretty skinny. For me, im only 14 and weigh 150 but im a guy. Anyway, you probably have a lot of muscle capacity. Muscle weighs a lot more than fat and takes up a lot less space than fat.

I used a body mass index calculator...and put in your numbers, you come as 23.6- which is "normal weight"
Now these charts are not set in stone words to live by, it just means by medical standards you're considered healthy...and to be "fat" or overweight you'd have to weigh at least 165.
Here are the BMI Categories:
* Underweight = <18.5
* Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
* Overweight = 25-29.9
* Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
and, size matters very little, different companies size they're clothing differently, for example...I worked at Old Navy, and they size their stuff huge...as in, i'm normally about a size 2-4 in womens, but I can wear little girls clothes from there..
and Forever 21...I can barely make a medium, or maybe not barely, but it's not too big, and i'm usually a small/extra small.
Not to mention your bone structure, body shape, eating habits/metabolism/genetics..and a bunch of other factors...contribute to one overall size, regardless of weight.

No! I'm 5'8", 160, wear a size 10 and don't think I am fat (granted....I'd like to lose a little, but that is my issue).
So you are just fine, girl!

Youre in between the rate range. The range for your height is usually between 130-160 or so.

You cant say...Venus williams is about 155lbs I think but she is solid muscle...muscle is denser and weighs more than fat...you need to find out the % of fat you have..with callipers under arms,hips and belly...the Y does these tests or gyms

you might be a little chubby. i'm 5'8 and 145 and im not happy with how by belly looks, but it all depends on bone mass/density or something like that. if you look straight down and see most of your feet (1/2 or more) then I'd say you're pretty good!

That depends on how muscular you are. If you are not muscular, then sorry hon, yes, that's fat.
I'm 5'10", male, and muscular, and that's MY weight!
