Severely: Please get her to a good pediatrician, for her sake and that of the whole family. The teenage years are cruel enough without the girl being overweight as well. Ask the pediatrician whether there might be endocrine disease -- especially thyroid disease, cushing's or an insulinoma. Her regaining a normal weight will be a family project. Good luck.

Expected wt 100lb: At 5'1" the expected proportional weight is 100 lb. You can download a growth chart from the cdc & follow the patterns considered normal at various ages.See www.Cdc.Gov/growthcharts i would have the kid seen & evaluated by both a physician & dietitian. At this age & weight it is common for kids to show pre-diabetes and hypertension. Good luck.
