Hi Br,
112 pounds is actually a bit low by the charts. The average range is 130-150 lbs.
Unfortunately the charts aren't the most accurate, especially with teenagers. Your Body Mass Index would be a better estimate but even then, you are likely growing very fast at that age.
Check with your doctor but I don't think you are really overweight.

I gotta agree with medic-dan. you're on the smaller side for your general height. also not all charts or readings are accurate. for example myself im 5'6 and 145-150 pounds. on a bmi scale im considered overweight. but ive been working out for about a year and a half so i know that its not an issue. there is however a difference between being overweight and overfat. you have nothing to worry about though. 112 pounds at 5'8 id be worried about being too small rather than too big
