In my opinion you should not be asking what every 1 else thinks of you.
What do you think, do you seem to look fat or skinny to yourself? Are you fine with your current shape?
These numbers are useless, unless you have goals.
Think about it.

I assume that you're a male, and based on that I think that is a bit high for an 14 year old.

If you stood on a scale that is bioelectrical impedance. 152 pounds for someone 5'3" is rather heavy, especially as a teen, unless you are very well built.

if your wrestling, who cares..
your weight adds a bit of an extra punch.
Although id beware of any one who weighs same/more than you but has a lower bf%. U know what that means
more muscle! But take into consideration of height not everyone heavier and leaner than you is stronger than you.
