Answers:
No, I don't think so!. I mean, you're ideal weight depends on several factors including your age, gender and body build!. But in general, I tend to use the formula (20lbs*ft + 5lbs*inches) +/- 10%!. In other words!. (20*5= 100) + (5*6=30) = 130!. So I would say that between 117-143lbs would be a healthy weight for you!. So around 140lbs is still in your healthy weight range!.

However, you may want to try the CDC BMI Calculator for Child & Teen which also takes into account your age and gender:

Well hope this helps! Good luck & take care! =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

your bmi is 22!.6 which is in the normal range!. 24!.9 is considered overweight but 130 is ideal for your height so if you feel uncomfortable with your body you could lose weight and still be in a healthy range!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok so you are at a healthy weight but you should do it yourself just to make sure:
