95-127# is normal: While I can't speak for "average", normal weight is estimated by using body mass index (BMI). Check out http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm which shows 95-127 pounds as BMI 18.5-24.9 which is normal. So your weight is fine. But don't forget that body composition is even more important. You don't want to be skinny but fat. So just be sure to exercise regularly.
