Is 130 lbs. overweight for a 14 year old girl?!

Question: Is 130 lbs. overweight for a 14 year old girl?

I don't think I'm exactly "fat" or my definition of fat, that is. I'm 5'4, so I don't really know exactly what the "average" weight is. I've seen other answers on here that says 90-100 lbs. for a 14 year old girl is average. My friends weigh around that range and I'm probably 20-30 pounds heavier but I don't see much of a weight difference between me and them. If I stood side by side next to them, we'd both look fairly similar. Or at least that's what I think..any help?

Answers:

It's just your bone structure is different than them. You sound like a perfect weight to me. I'm 14 and 130 pounds I'm 5'5 to 5'6. My 20 year old sister is 5'10 and 130 pounds and she looks perfectly normal. I'm skinnier than her but weigh the same and shorter, if that makes any sense at all... She just has really small bone structure is all. You're fine. (:

130 pounds is overweight for a girl but its not like your obese. If you cant tell the difference between you and the other girls than in think you have nothing to worry about. You might want to pay more attention to what you eat but i don't really think its that big of a deal.

No, that's an average, healthy weight for your height! You may have a lot of muscle mass, also. That might be why you look about as thin as your friends. Muscle is a lot more dense than fat is (: Hope this helped!

No, not even close to overweight.

youre fine! 130 is great. youre probably more muscular :P
