NO, your cousin most definatly is NOT fat!

It is very difficult to calculate the "average" weight of a 12 year old as kids that age are still growing and come in many shapes and sizes. what matters is not the weight, but are they healthy?
I think that perhaps you might start thinking about whether you are eating healthy and setting a good example for your cousin if you are worried about their health, not saying mean hurtful things or calling names, and working to help them feel good about themselves no matter what their body looks like.
At 12, a lot of kids gain some extra weight, but then it goes away again in a year or even less, so they should never be judged by what their body is doing or how they are growing.

I hope you say positive things to your cousin to help them feel good about themselves :)

So don't worry about weight, and just work at being the best person you can be. :)

Weight doesn't determine FAT, and it's especialy hard to tell without more specifics, and at that age, unless there a rediculas low weight, or a rediculas high weight, (like 240) it's a healthy wieght.
