5'1" and 160lbs converts to a BMI(body mass index) of 30.2, which falls into the obese category. The maximum weight you should be around is 130lbs. You should make an attempt to shed some of those excess pounds to avoid health problems later in life.

The ideal weight for someone your height would be around 125 pounds.
Look in the mirror. Then you'll know,
youre overweight
You are a little overweight do not get upset over it you are 17 years old you can take it off quick .
Forget about that BMI cr@p. I have a friend that is 6'1, 250 pds and the guy does 7 marathons a year. I also know many tennis players that are in great shape for how big they are. Deal with what was dealt to you, some people are big boned and there is no way around it. How do you feel? Do you have a gut? Can you sprint a 100 yards and be ok? Can you play a good game of racquetball or basketball without wanting to kill over? A lot of my friends are skinny but are completely out of shape to do any of the things i just asked. Get into good shape and go from there. If some weight comes off than great if it doesn't then at least you'll be in good shape and feel good about yourself.
