Yes, her height is a factor, but so is her bone structure, and muscle mass.
Medically, it’s within the normal range though it’s borderline overweight. Anybody saying it’s not normal is jumping the gun a bit. The best we have to go by is BMI standards since we don’t actually know what she looks like. So, going on that alone, it’s technically normal.
Thats abit big for 12. Keep an eye on how much she's eating because you dont want to set her up to have a bad headstart in life already fat before shes an adult.
