Insufficient data: To determine if a child is overweight, one needs the height, or even better, the body mass index or BMI.

To calculate BMI: accurately requires date of birth. If she is 12 years 0 months, her BMI of 23.6 is at the 91st %ile in the overweight range (85th-94th%ile). Limit her total screen time- TV, videos, video games, tablet, computer & smart phone - to a maximum of 2 hours/day. Remove electronics from her bedroom. Encourage 1 hour of daily exercise. Do not allow junk food or soda in your house. Have family meals.
