Should a 12-year-old weigh 126 pounds?

Answer 1

We would need to know more about your height and body composition. How tall are you and are you muscular or not? Weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. For more information about weight in relation to height, and to see charts showing the distribution of weights and heights of children at various stages, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Answer 2

There is no right of wrong weight for a 13-year-old girl. Weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail.

Answer 3

125 pounds is a little high for a 13-year-old at 5'2". That would be an appropriate weight for a muscular adult or well-developed woman at that height, but in a 13-year-old, that weight probably represents extra body fat. On the other hand, a 13-year-old might be on the verge of having a big growth spurt, and so might use that body fat to fuel the vertical growth. It is probably an issue to keep an eye on, but not to overreact to. Also, as with adults, body shape can tell you a lot. If this child has little abdominal fat, he/she is probably at a good weight.

Answer 4

It depends a lot on her height and build, but no. With a height range of 60-64 inches, a thirteen year old girl should weigh 95-15 pounds.

Keep in mind that she is still growing and developing, so this is just average figures.
