Need more info: It depends on your height and body build. For "all" 16 year old females, then a little light. But, most of us spend great energy trying to shed excess weight, so would not rush into weight gain program, as usually is just fat pounds, and as your hormones change over next few years you will likely see weight and proportion shift.
