i think that you should be asking your doctor this question instead of people on yahoo answers. nobody on here can tell you if you are in good shape or not. all they know about you is your age, height, and weight, however there are many other things that factor into whether or not you are overweight.
i'm 13 (turning 14 soon). i play a lot of sports, i'm 5"2 too, and weight about 108 pounds. (i'm an average size - not too skinny, i'm definitely not a stick, but not overweight) most of my friends are around the same weight, but age doesn't really matter. if you have a lot of muscle that could contribute to your weight (however muscle is perfectly healthy). it completely depends on your body type. nobody on yahoo answers can tell you if you are overweight or not, since we don't know you.

^^^ this is a link to a website which will calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index). BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. however, it still doesn't factor in muscle weight.
the bottom line is that it depends on who you are. many, many things like gender, water weight, muscle, height, and how active you are can factor into your weight. take football players, for example. professionals usually weigh in the 200's, yet they are in fine shape. most of their weight is muscle.
if you are unsure about whether or not you are healthy, just ask your doctor. nobody knows better than he does. if he DOES say you are at an unhealthy weight, then he will probably give you some tips on how to get healthier.
