Yes: Ideal weight for you would be approx 115#. Current bmi is 27, which is in the overweight range and disease potential is definitely increased. Your depression and the zoloft (sertraline) may also be encouraging further food intake and weight gain. Your depression leads to obesity which leads to further depression. It's a vicious cycle.

Weight: Sorry to hear you have been depressed, difficult to assess as to whether you are overweigh as it depends on your body type, muscle content etc. If you are asking you may be so begin exercising daily, the very best treatment for depression.
