According to The Nemours Foundation...
"How much should my child weigh?" is a common question parents have.
The answer: "People have different body types, so there's no single number that's the right weight for everyone."
I urge you to check with your child's doctor about the healthiest weight for your 13 year old.

To calculate your teen's ideal body weight take 100 pounds for 60 inches of height plus 5 pounds (girls) and 6 pounds (boys) for each additional inch.
