https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts...According to this chart, at your age, 135 pounds is right in the middle (50 percentile).This means, if you were to be (look at the chart) 185 pounds - you’re at 95%. It means 5% of boys your page are heavier than you, and 95% of boys your age are lighter than you.Or if you are 120 lbs, 25% of boys your age are lighter than you, and 75% of boys, again, your age, are heavier than you.Am a nurse.

What is the ideal body weight for a 16 year old male? I'm 5 feet and 8 inches and used to workout but still have visible muscle on nearly all of my body from this.

A lot of people with really big muscles don't know that muscle weighs more than fat, or that it is healthy to have more than average amounts of muscle weight. So don't start feeling bad about your high weight, if it is, because muscles are not unhealthy to have.Let’s say that you have huge muscles and weigh around 85–100kg (187–220 lbs.). If you are only 8–10% body fat, you would look amazing. Few 16 year old kids have anywhere near that much muscle weight at such a young age, but many do have an unhealthy high fat weight.For example, regardless of weight, if you had 25%, or more body fat you would be classified as obese, or possibly morbidly obese if you were also having metabolic disorders. About 25% of American high schoolers are in this category.A normal weight for most 16 year old boys of that height that doesn't have those significant muscles would be anywhere between 113 to 159 lbs (51.5-72 kg). This 46 pound range covers all body types, big, small, skinny, muscular, heavy bones, light bones, etc., but the American, and Asian. For Asians even in this range still should consult with their doctor for an appropriate weight. For Americans this medical reference for a healthy weight is merely a suggestion. If you want to start at 60, and go to 80 kg, it's whatever you think. It is all about your frame of reference, too. If someone told you that you can pull off weighting 80, or 90 kg, then go for it.You may have forgotten this since you don't workout anymore, but most athletes use body fat percentage to determine ideal, not weight. But now that you are part of the sedentary masses, you can use weight to determine your “ideal”.Also, do you want to look skinny and feel great or like the others, and kinda fat? Determine how you want to look, then base your “ideal” weight on that. If you are considering working out again, so that you can have more visible muscles, it's ok to think you are at a normal weight and healthy if your body fat is in the 10–15% range. BMI estimates of body fat don’t work for huge, muscular guys using steroids because muscles are heavy, like fat, but are not fat. Thus, the reason athletes use body fat measurements, not BMI estimates. Hope this helps.

What should my weight be? I am a 16-year-old.

Your weight should be whatever it is if you are eating a healthy balenced diet and getting as much exercise as you are able given whatever your particular circumstances might be. Health or physical issues may factor in. Height factors in. Genetics factor in. If you take care of yourself and do those 2 things, then I believe you will be the weight you are meant to be. Be honest with yourself if you are doing those things. You can always ask your doctor to refer you to a nutritionist to talk about a healthy diet and perhaps a physical therapist or similar to suggest an appropriate exercise regimen tailored for you. That’s an important part of your primary care doctors job. No matter what - your great how you are, even if you are working towards a different goal!
