Answer

i do believe that you are.. You should first do a yahoo search on obesity and it should bring up a chart on body mass.

Depends....

It totally depends on if you're athletic, have lots of muscle, big bones, etc. But, your BMI according to US standards is 20.6, which is at the 76th percentile for kids your age, and is considered a healthy weight, but on the borderline of a little bit overweight. Don't worry, you really don't have a lot to worry about. If you just exersize a little more and cut back on computer/tv time, it should be pretty easy (but slow).
