Answer

You don't need to worry about your weight until your metabolism slows. Making sure you are health conscious and staying active is what's important.

Answer

Your young and tall. Don't listen in BMI charts. I at one point was that tall and weighed less. It wasn't my fault, i was just young and skinny, you will fill out eventually as you age.

Answer

Your BMI is 18. Youre on the verge of being underweight as underweight BMI is 18.5.

Answer

That's about what I weighed at your age. (I'm 5'9" 130lbs now at age 35 with a 2 year old.) Sounds fine to me! Eat well, stay active. :)

Answer

It all depends on body type. I’m the same as you and I’m not underweight at all.

Answer

So I’m 5’9” I should be 165 at my lowest healthy weight however that’s going off the BMI charts if you ask my fellow peers at my height and age most feel best and are happiest with their looks about 180-201 when I was at a normal weight healthy mind state I was happy at 215 I have very wide shoulders and carry most of my weight in upper body so for my wide shoulders it just made me look more balanced but right now I’m over weight so I’m trying to get back down so really just go with the flow definitely talk with the doc look at BMI and ask google “my age and height what weight should I be” and should pull up a few studies and read them all get a general idea but don’t stress it definitely find your happy but definitely check in with doc don’t go freely about this as if you go too much over you run into other problems same with being too little again more problems balance is key

Answer

Your weight right now sounds fun if that’s based off of a normal diet and just how your metabolism runs. I wouldn’t suggest going on ANY DIET to lose weight it won’t be healthy. I would say just put healthy things in your body and you’ll be okay. It’s good to keep a healthy diet with fruit, veg, protein and yes some carb and doing a bit of exercise but don’t do anything to extreme.

Answer

Ask your doc. They can look at your muscle to fat ratio and tell you :)

Answer

I wouldn’t listen to people on an app. If you’re concerned about it talk to your doctor. They know best ! :) Like others said though, you’re a teenager so your metabolism hasn’t quite figured itself out yet. I wouldn’t worry too much about it

Answer

You're healthy as long as you're eating normally and enough :) it's normal to be slimmer at that age especially after a growth spurt!
