I'm not 100% sure, but I think the answers you've gotten so far are wrong.
It varies a little person to person, but I think you're still in the range of healthy weight for your height, though near the upper end of it. I am 5'6, and healthy weight for me is up to 154 lbs. Based on that, I think your weight range would be up to 148 or 149.
There are other things you should take into account, though. BMI and body fat percentage are at least as important as weight. If you are cardivascularly fit, you should be okay at that weight or slightly more.

Yes, well, very nearly "officially" overweight, but ultimately, it's more about body fat percentage than anything. For example, I'm 5'5" and currently weigh 128lbs, and am a US size 2. But I'm all muscly from dancing and swimming. Were I 128lbs and have only a low amount of body muscle then I would consider myself in need of a diet.
I know you're only asking if you weigh too much, but if you're wondering that, then you should look at the whole picture. Have a read through this and see how you feel then

Ultimately though, you're not medically obese, and if you're happy how you are and you're fit and healthy, then you're fine.
hope that all helps.

You are at the upper end of a healthy weight range according to calculating your BMI (body mass index). Normal calculates one to be between 18.5 and 24.9 and you are at 24.3. Not everyone trusts or agrees with that since weight can be a lot of muscle and not fat but generally, you are a healthy weight for your height.

no actually a health care professional will tell you that at your hieght you may be a little over wieght but your right around the right mark of what your reasonable weight should be. i'm 5'7" and i'm right around 140 pounds. so yeah you near you right wieght just like i am. now if you were 6' 2", and wieghted 140 pounds then you might be off but for your hieght your weight is right around the right area.
