It depends... Though you're only 13 I can say my cousin is very lean and he's only 15 years old, 5'11" and 205lb.

6ft tall and 210 lbs... Sounds a bit like a kid on the basketball team I know of. Now that I think of it, you're probably a little bit chubby. Do this: wrap your wrist with your thumb and middle finger. If the fingers touch or even overlap you shouldn't weigh more than 200lb at this age :)

Try to get around 180, do cardio and eat healthier.

170 lbs.

depends on how much of that is fat. I you have high body fat percentage then yeah it is overweight, get around 170 to 180 range. BUt if you have lots of muscle then its no probelm

Yeah, it is. I'd probably try to get down to 170 unless you are very large boned. Just cut back by a few hundred calories a day and you'll be on your way. You're still growing so you don't want to do anything drastic.

you're bmi is 28 and a healthy bmi ends at about a 25... so yes, you are overweight.
