You can't rely on anyone else's opinion, because nobody (except maybe your doctor) is gonna be honest with you. Your friends wont; they don't want to seem mean or hurt your feelings. Most adults wont; they're too concerned about harming kids' self-esteem or causing them to become anorexic. Even your parents might not be honest with you, for the same reason. And sometimes it's even hard to be honest with yourself about your weight.
If you feel you're fat (which obviously you do), ask your mom to take you to the doctor and get his opinion. And if he thinks you would be better off losing some weight, then go ahead and find a good, healthy program to help you lose some. That is, if you feel you'd be happier that way. If you're fine with yourself the way you are, then none of this really matters, does it?
As for your brother... actually, he might be the only one who IS honest with you (although maybe for the wrong reasons). Don't let that get to you. Brothers and sisters can be really mean to each other, for lots of different reasons. But that's really a separate issue. The real issue is, if you're unhappy with your weight, then you need to (1) Find out if you really are overweight, and if so, then (2) Do something about it.
Good luck! =]

1) Yes, I think you're fat. And a side note, how can you blame that on your brother calling you fat? You can either blame your parents for giving you fat genes, or you can blame yourself for your eating/exercise habits.
BUT. Why is being fat so wrong to you? And if it is, than it is time for you to start actively trying to get in shape. You get to dictate who you are, and what being fat means. If you're happy with yourself, fat or not, it does not matter whether you are fat or not. It matters that you are happy.
About your brother, I think you need to accept yourself to deal with that. Be happy with who you are, and then it won't matter what other people think.
I am sorry if this wasn't the answer you wanted, but it's the most honest one you'll get.

In all honesty, it's how you feel about yourself that counts, not how others do.
Your brother is cruel for teasing you like this, however, all siblings have that tendency. I would just ignore him. If he thinks it doesn't bother you, he may stop teasing you. Also, I wouldn't stand up for him anymore either. It's time he figures out that you can't step on the toes that saves your hiney and get away with it.

I would like to say this, if you are wanting to lose weight, it just takes determination and will power and you can do it. If you are happy with yourself, then that is wonderful. I have learned that even though I may be a little overweight, I am still sexy and I love myself. This is the best way to live, happy to be who you are. Good Luck!!
