it depends how tall you are. you could be 5 feet and weigh 100 pounds and that is totally normal.ecspecialy around puberty.

Health specialists often use a measurement called "body mass index," or BMI, which is a value normally around 20 or so which basically tells you how much you weigh compared to how tall you are.

Such formula can be found here:

it is a rather simple one, and can be done by pretty much anyone. We used it once in math class to help learn rations and division.
