With those statistics he has a bmi of 25.1 which is generally considered overweight. However some people weigh more due to muscle mass although i'm assuming it isn't in his case since you asked the question.
I don't think that it is really your place to point out this problem but perhaps you could hint at you friend to bring up the issue of his diet and exercise routine with his his parents. Try to be kind though as it is probably a sensitive issue.
Hope this helps

well i'm a girl.. but i didn't hit 100 pounds til i was 15 or 16 haha

I'm 13 and I weigh close to 180...and im 5'11.

I don't think he's fat.

um boys who are 5'6 need to weigh 130(at his age)

but since hes ten he is growing so it should be fine because he will gain height which will fill out his figure
