Is this ok, or should i try and lose a few pounds ?

Am i short for my age ?

Answer 1

the weight does not really matter it depends on how active you are but the weight sounds you are ok

Answer 2

Your weight sounds ok, but a lot depends upon build and body type.

The best indicator of appropriate or inappropriate weight is BMI. Here’s a great site for calculating BMI, suggesting your goal weight, and what people think is ideal weight… http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.ht...

These are the general guidelines:

Underweight = <18.5

Normal weight = 18.5-24.9

Overweight = 25-29.9

Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

Other question can't be answered... are you male or female? anyway, height is determeined by genetics - there's nothing you can do about it.

And you're probably still growing.
