Answers:
It really depends on your muscle mass and your genes.
Most of the time muscle weighs more then fat and when you're a preteen through around 16 you still have time to grow (Sometimes even after that,). Who knows, you might hit a growth spurt between now and then.
I did and now I'm about 5 feet 8 1/2 inches tall and I just recently turned 16.
And it may have something to do with your stress levels. I was pretty stressed out last spring semester and I gained about 10 pounds. I worked out to try and lose it and I'm eating healthier but, due to my genes and my workout habits, I'm now about 15 lbs shy of 200 and I really don't look like it.
Oh yeah, and I'm a C verging on a D too.
So it all depends on how you look at it really.Health Question & Answer

Unfortunately according to my source, you are right passed the brink of an overweight BMI, you fall into the obese category. A healthy BMI is anything 24 or less. Yours is approximately 31. To find this number use this equation, weight in pounds, height in inches:

Weight(730) / height^2

At the age of 14, I strongly suggest modifying your diet and exercising often to prevent disease and medical problems in your future.
Health Question & Answer

maybe just a little bit over weight.
Try excersizing more often.
Join a sport or just go to the gym.

watch what you eat and drink plenty of water. These things will not only make you look better but also feel better.

DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF. It is better to eat more often and less than less often but more. Eat healthy foods (fruits and vegies) and it will help you lose weight the natural healthy way.

Really, you're not that heavy, and I'm your age, and trust me, you shouldn't try to lose much weight or it'll interrupt your growth (not just height-related). I should probably stop talking now; anything else I say will probably be biased since I like heavier girls.

Sorry, I believe it is over-weight for your age and height. You may loose some of this as you go through puberty. But I think you need to start watching what you eat and getting in some more exercise. Better to get used to some healthy habits while you are young. It gets much harder as you get olderHealth Question & Answer

I don't mean to offend you.......but yea, I think 172 pounds is overweight......sorry.........

I'd suggest trying to eat healthy foods and exercise a little more....DON'T STARVE YOURSELF NO MATTER WHAT. Trust me, it's better to be a little overweight rather than starved- it messes up everything.
