There is no set answer for the 'average' weight of a 5' 2" woman. Body weight is a misleading measure. Since people have different builds, different people of the same height and sex can have the same percentage of body fat and yet have different body weights. The reason for this is that muscle weighs more than fat. What counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat. As a female, your percentage of body fat should be about 15 to 20% for good health. Therefore, what is important is your body composition. Todetermine your percentage of body fat at home, obtain some plastic body fat calipers and do a simple skin-fold test. Body fat calipers are not expensive and they are readily available to buy. ---- To learn about the causes of weight gain, or obesity, see the page link, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions."
