Yes, it's normal for a girl, your friend, who is 12 years old and is 5'1" to weigh 128 pounds. Everyone is different and each person has a different body structure and being 128 pounds is not overweight at all. Tell your friend that there is nothing to worry about and that she is at a good weight for her age and height.

mmkay there's this thing called your body mass index...google that, and type in your weight, height and age...and you can find this out. but i've done it for your friend and her's is 24.2, and that's on the borderline of being obese...by about .7 so she is TECHNICALLY normal weight but is very very close to being obese

Yea that's completely normal. Some girls grow at different stages so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
I don't know why you titled this question as "overweight", but 128 lbs is pretty proportional. I'm 5'1 also, weigh about 120, and wear a size 4. Your friend has nothing to worry about! :)

EDIT
okay well, if she has a problem with her weight then let her go on a diet. simple as that.
