No, thats really good for your size and weight.

Yes, muscle does weight more than fat but...

At your age you should not be too concerned about your weight because you still are growing.

You should be more concerned about not eating too much fried food and sodas. That should be good for you right now being that your young.

work out 30 min a day is good enough for a healthy life style.

Maybe a little bit. But not too much.

no

no your not overweight
i call that sexy cuz your muscular ;)

no ur not overweight if ur description is true.

no ,
you arent ,
do you work out ,
jog ?

I believe it all depends on your Bones. Are you big boned?

id honostly have to see a picture, since u said ur muscular, that made it tricky

well if u r muscular thats not being fat
muscle does weigh more than fat

You sound like you eat a lot. Idc how much you excersize. Slow your eating.

um....kinda
u can use lose a little bit

not too bad

No, don't be ridiculous. Its all muscle hun. :D
Just stay fit, eat healthy.

I don;t really think so. I'd have to know your mix between fat and muscle but 5'8" 175lbs is a good weight for a stocky muscular guy.

No you're not!!!!!
5'8 at 175, that's almost skinny.....

im 16, 180 am i fat?? Muscle does weigh more than fat. You can't be fat. Your tall, muscualar, everything works out for you. Don't worry about it.

I don't think that weight sounds bad at all your height also plays a facor in it also not just muscle!!!!!!!!!!!! And even if you were really big there is nothing wrong with a big guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No! You are perfect! (Even though i dont know you.)

If you have a lot of muscle then you will weigh more. And you are tall (like me, I'm the same height and I'm a girl!) that adds weight!

i don't know...you tell me

er...... no i guess not.............

Yes you are overweight. At your age and height your weight should be between 125 and 165, regardless of how much "muscle" you have.

you are still maturing! just give it a few years and you will be just right!

If honesty is what you want? Thats what you will get!!
Maybe just a little overweight, Maybe loose like 3 pounds or so, Or lose as much pounds as you think you need lose.
You know lose weight if you think you need to, DONT if people are telling you too. :)

na dude i weight more and im taller then u once u hit over 200 your over weight just watch your sht keep it on lock

no thats not bad at all have you ever measured your body fat? and do you work out because working out can help keep u slim and build ur strength up but no 175 is good

im only 2 inches taller and i weigh 215, you are at a good weight. and stop eating that crap. i know you have a bag of cheetos next to you.there is cheese on your post...

I'd say no because there's a baseball player on my favorite team who is 5'9" and 180 and he doesn't look overweight at all.

nope. ask your doctor, if your really worried. They give you the percentile of your age/height/weight average.

depends on your waist size. sounds like your not, but you have a lot of muscle. muscle is way more dense then fat, so that might ne why you think you're overweight. you're def not

You could use to lose about 5-10 pounds and if you are like super muscle no but no one is super muscle. But you should be fine and perfect if you lose 5-10lb
Also you are going through pubertiy so you will get heavier for a couple of years so not really

Remember that muscle weughs more than fat. So i'm hoping that's a lot of muscle, and you're kind of tall and w/ height comes more weight. i don't think you're overweight.
