you actually are normal weight the BMI(body mass index) for your age and height yo should be anywhere from 100 to 140 and be average weight if u want to "look good" and be normal weight i suggest aiming around 120ish just so ur right in the middle and you can take it from there good luck!

I'll answer your question in a sec, sorry this first part is a bit of a rant. I just want people to be careful where they get their body image ideas from. am-i-fat.com is wrong, you're not overweight. According to the centers for disease control (who should know) 18.5-24.9 is a normal BMI and 25 and over is overweight. That said, I'm about the same build as you (16/F, 132 lbs, 5'2 1/2") and i'm trying to lose weight too (mainly because of sports). am-i-fat.com said i need to exercise more. i'm pretty damn athletic. i'm on the track team and compete competitively in other sports. So, what i'm saying is that you should rely on a mirror. Because of muscle/fat ratios it is impossible to give you a number. However, between the 120-130 range is probably healthy. Mostly though, I think you should shoot for a toned body. it's no good to be thin and flabby. In fact, if you're exercising a lot you may drop a size, but STAY THE SAME WEIGHT. So good luck with your diet, but don't rely on numbers too much.

The estimate given below sounds reasonable. However a person's weight depends also on his/her build type (shoulder width etc) as well as on how muscular he/she is.
For example, if I go to am-i-fat.com and punch in my stats for my lean bodyweight (about 190lbs and 6ft) it says I am overweight and need to exercise.
What I am trying to say is that you should take this into account when you look at the numbers, and rely more on a mirror than on a pair of scales. Of course if you are average in both build and muscle to fat ratio, then those estimates will probably be ok.

I looked at am-i-fat.com (It's a great source for diet tips and it tells you ideal body weights)
And it says your ideal body weight would be 109-122 lbs.
So hopefully that helped, good luck with your diet!
