Question:

Answers:
Weight is a loose standard and should not be considered as a judge for a person's health. If a person is grossly disproportionate to their peers of the same age (obese), then they should consult their family physician or a nutritionist for a supervised program.

The important thing to also understand is that whether you are young, your body has not fully matured yet. With the ages stated, there is still some time to go before a person's "weight" standard should be seriously considered. Although it is important to be within a healthy range in relation to a person's age, the person should also be measured by their fat content. This should be done at the time of full body maturity which is MUCH later than the ages stated - around 18 years old for girls and 20 years old for boys. This can only be accurately measured by a health professional.

Eat healthy (tons of fruits and vegetables, some grain products, some white meat and very little red meat).
