I know I'm definitely not fat. I have a waist. But it sounds to me like I weigh much more than I should. Am I borderline overweight?

Sounds like a very good and healthy weight. Just be sure you are eating a healthy diet so your body functions properly.
fruits and veggies, limited or no meat, nothing fried, no dairy, no fast food, no processed food, water, no sodas, lots of exercise.

You can't really tell much by looking at weight. It all depends on body composition. If you are 120 lbs of cottage cheese and your a s s looks like a peice of chewed bubble gum, then you are not over weight, but you are still fat. If you weigh 140 lbs and it is all mammary and muscle, then you are not fat, but you may register as overwieght on the artificial scale that the AMA uses.

NO!!! I am 5'5" and I weigh 120lbs. I don't think I'm fat and niether should you! Everyone has body issues,if you think there is a problem area work on that,but DON'T diet! Not at your age,you'll just be setting yourself up for a eating disorder. Your body is still growing and changing. Eat healthy and get some exercise and you'll be just fine!

No way!!! You are actually close to underwieght I think. Because I am 5'2 and weigh almost 120 pounds. But your just fine so dont starve yourslef! Trust me. Not a good way to lose weight. It is not worth it in the end. So just work out and keep eating healthier!
