(85 for being at risk of overweight) you should be about 92-136 pounds for your height, so you're fine. Also, you're still growing so you can be overweight one year, but turn out to be fine when you're an adult. [ advice_me's advice column | Ask advice_me A Question ]

If you're worried you're fat...stop worrying! You aren't.
Here is a site for you to check out. It has lots of good things on it. This section I'm linking you too is on nutrition. If you want to tone up your body or know that you are eating properly, this is the place to go. :)
