Size is more important than weight.
muscle is more dense than fat.
muscle and bone density is very good indicator of strength.
There standard metrics for body fat ppercentage and weignt for a small, medium and large boy .
As to wrestling, drop weight gain an advantage, as long as you did not dehydrate or loose muscle mass to get it.
Peace

Don't listen to the idiots who say you're fat. They need to get a life.
You are not heavy at all. Depending upon your build you could even be underweight. Even 150 or more could be a normal weight.
The person who said that a 5 foot person should weight 100 lbs is WRONG!!!! I am a 5'2 female who weighs 120 and happens to be muscular. I am a size 4 (which is very thin!).
Besides men and women's standards for appropriate weight are different.
A little belly has to do with where you store your fat not with being overweight.

According to one site I checked, you seem about right or perhaps on the light side.
5'7"
138-145 Small Frame
142-154 Medium Frame
149-168 Large Frame

No, you are not to heavy for your height. But if you want to wrestle, you can participate in that part of you PE class, but how well you do will be determined by your ability. Are you fit? Do you exercise? Do you try to increase your strength, stamina, and flexibility? Your wrestling class will be assigned according to your weight. But if you want to be competitive, you must have those attributes above. Otherwise you are just seeking an identity.

ok at any age you judge it by how tall you are. at 5' you should be 100, and for every inch past you add 5 pounds so you should be 135 give or take 10 pounds. you you are right in the middle and a verry normal weight.

Overly heavy.. to the point of being obese. I suggest seeing a doctor immediately so you can discuss a weight lose plan.

At 5'7 your ideal weight would be 149 lbs so you are not heavy at all for your height.
