Im like the same as you except i look wayy skinner then what the BMI calculator says
It says im overweight, but when i look in the mirror, i think i look fine. If you think you look okay then stay as you are, and if you dont liek your body then loose weight.

Everyone is going to send you all of these BMI calculators, but they're not always accurate. Sorry, but not everyone is a skinny model and you don't have to weigh 110 pounds at 5'3". I went to my doctors and i used to weigh 141 pounds at 5'3" and my DOCTOR (not a BMI calculator) said I was fine and not overweight. Now I weigh 134 because I've been really active in soccer. But my point is that since my doctor said I was fine at 141 at 5'3", then you're probably fine at 146, however, i would consider loosing 5-10 pounds just to be on the safe side :]

According to a BMI calculator (([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)))
Your BMI is 25.9. Which means you are overweight.
A normal weight for someone who is 5'3 should be between 115 and 125.
EDIT*** but after reading what I wrote, It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you need to lose weight ;)
