My daughter is 12 bout to turn 13 she's in 8th grade she weighs 175 pounds is that over weight ?

Depends on height: You need to know her height to determine if she is "overweight" from a BMI standpoint. For example if she was very tall in 8th grade at 6 feet, she would have a BMI of 23.7 and be fine. You can google search Information on BMI and get a good idea of whether or not she is or is not overweight. Best wishes.

Depends: A lot of it depends on how tall she is. 175 sounds a lot for a child this age but the height makes a difference. Also, how has her weight gain been over the last 2 yrs? Although one point in time is important to know, the trend will tell us a lot about the patient. Also keep in mind that even if she is significantly overweight she is at an age of growing so you don't want her to lose weight
