It generally goes more by your Body Mass Index or BMI that has more to do with your age and height:

there are tables on line to look it up, try this one for instance:

calculate your BMI with the calculator at this site

then use the tables and explanation here to see how healthy your current weight is:

gudluk

130-140

prob up to 150ish

When I was sixteen and 5"11 I weighed around 155. I was a little skinny, but perfectly healthy. It depends on how much muscle you have really.

130-150

150ish

140 to 150 a littler more doesnt matter this the age you do most of your growing if your body tell you its hungry feed it but not with unhelthy junk it good you weight will remain good as well

i'd say skinny like 140.. but in good shape.. probably 160 maybemore

it depends on your body type

A male at that height would be at a healthy weight anywhere from 140-180. It depends on your build and amount of muscle. I have one 18 year old son who is 5'11" and weighs 145 and looks very slim. My 16 year old son weighs 195, looks good but a little "soft" and he's about 6' even. Yet another son, 14, is about 5'7" weighs about 140 and looks just right. So you see, there is a wide range of acceptable weight. My 18 year old son has a very slim build, and the 16 year old is naturally built like a linebacker. The 14 year old is average build. I hope this makes you feel better about yourself!
