What Should Be Normal Height And Weight For 16 Year Old?

I am 16 5"7 and I weigh 110. Sometimes I feel I am under my weight range. I was just wondering what weight am I supposed to be for my age and height? Also my metabolism is really high causing me to not be able to gain weight is there any way to lower my metabolism?

Average height for a 16 yr old is 5 feet 9 inch ( range 5 feet 4 inch to 6 feet feet 4 inch) , average weight is 130 Ib (range 105 Ib- 185 Ib ).Your height is 30 th percentile, ad weight 10 th percentile , your BMI is 14.92 . You need to eat a balanced diet and to consult your paediatrician to rule out any pathology if weight does not increase even after a balanced diet
