Well: 105 pounds + or - 10% is normative. However, if she was athletic with a lot of muscle higher weights can be anticipated. Discuss with her pediatrician. S/he might suggest working with a nutritionist. Take care.

Diet plan: She is obese . A diet and exercise plan would be to her advantage. Get help from professionals that are pediatric oriented.
