Overweight children fall between the 85th and 95th percentile, and obese children have a BMI equal to or greater than the 95th percentile. A healthy weight for a 12-year-old girl, therefore, can generally fall anywhere between 65 and 120 pounds.

Yes, she is over weight.
You're a perfectly healthy weight. Your BMI is 21.4, which is in the normal, healthy range. Don't worry about weight at your age, please. You're just starting to go through puberty, you'll likely get taller and grow, and that's okay!!
So according to a bmi chart your suggested weight range is 112 - 151Lbs. But many factors such as bone mass, muscle mass and fat percentage are important too. If you are a lot over or under this weight range, consider changing your diet and/or exercise. You are still young so don't push it.

I'd say yes that is considered morbidly obese. That depends on your height, gender and ethnicity too. Maybe try having your parents schedule a doctors appointment for you, or even see a dietician. Don't feel bad about yourself either if you do or not.
For example, a 10 year old boy who is 140 cm tall (4'7") and weighs 45 kg would have a BMI of 22.9 (45 divided by 1.4 x 1.4) which would mean they are technically overweight.
Many guys and girls are skinny until they start to go through puberty. The changes that come with puberty include weight gain and, in guys, broader shoulders and increased muscle mass.
Children are considered underweight when their body mass index (BMI) is below the 5th percentile for their age and gender on growth charts, according to the CDC study. If a child is underweight, the pediatrician may ask more about medical history or could order testing to check for undiscovered health issues, Dr.
Is it OK because I think I am overweight and please tell me the perfect weight for my age and height. Yes you are overweight. Your ideal weight should be between 65-70 kgs.
BMI values of less than 18.5 kg/m2 are considered underweight. BMI values between 18.5 kg/m2 to 24.9 kg/m2 are healthy. BMI values between 25 kg/m2 to 30 kg/m2 are overweight. BMI values greater than 40 kg/m2 are considered obese.
45 (kg) divided by 2.25 (height squared) = 20. This means a person with a height of 150cm and a weight of 45kg would have a BMI score of 20. According to the BMI, that person would be in the “healthy weight range”.
By weighing 50 kgs you would not fall under the underweight category but a healthy BMI range of (18.9).
55kg is normal weight for most of people. The weight range for 13-year-old boys is between 75 and 145 pounds.
