Can't tell without knowing how tall she is.
How do you have a daughter when you're only 11 years old yourself?
You have to be 13 to post here, run along now, Sarah, and leave the grown-ups alone.
Need to know height to determine whether she is clinically "overweight." But even that number doesn't take into consideration lean body mass (muscle). So, if she is average height for her age and has average lean body mass, then she is within a normal range, but towards the higher end of that range. If you are concerned over it you may want to giver her options to become more active before the pounds add up to something more significant.
I would say your daughter could possibly be overweight, but it's hard for me to say since you did not list her height. Use the BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator and find out for yourself! I'll attach the link! Hope it helps!

For her age only by a little bit, but if you have a Wii you can get a Wii fit game and Check! Or take her to the doctors and find out her doctor will tell you.
This weight seems pretty average for a girl of 11 years; however, it would be useful to know her height in order to tell you accurately. Try to plug her information into a BMI calculator.
oohhh yaaa... she needs to see a doctor
answer mine?
It depends on HEIGHT not age. My daughter was 5'9" at 11...102 would have been VERY underweight for her...she is now almost 14 and 6' tall now and is about 180 and looks healthy.
just sayin'
Tell us the height because that will help determine if she is healthy or not.
