There isn't really a right weight for anybody. It all depends on the build of your body. Some people are just going to be naturally skinny, others more muscled, so it fluctuates a good deal.
Now, this is a BMI (Body mass index) calculator. If you enter your information into it, it will give a bit of an idea of if you're in the right range. Again, though, everyone is different, so don't be too worried if it says you're overweight or underweight.

Moved to VT General Hospital.
Basically what Rex said- without a personalized doctor, there isn't much to do, except check basic averages, and see if you are "normal"

Yeah, and even if you have accumilated alot of fat lately it's all apart of puberty. Most people have this, then they stretch out and you can no longer notice the fat. If you have alot of fat, then heah you're possible overweight. But atm it's hard to tell if someone is overweight or underweight. My grandfather's BMI is 28 which is considered somewhat overweight, but he has hardly any fat and is really muscular. (He lived on a farm when he was a kid and has done lots of construction work, so yeah that's why he's muscular, even though he's 72).
