Answer
Hi Britney,

At 5'9" you are a very healthy girl.

To be overweight and when you should start worrying about your weight, you will need to be 170lbs or over.

Till then keep doing what your doing and stay healthy.

You are 14 years old and the weighing scales are not what you should rely on weighing yourself till you have stopped growing. This is usually when you're about 16.

Your clothes at your height, should be a US Size 10 or US Medium.
If you're in the UK you should be about a UK Size 12.

This is a rough guide according the your height you've given me.
You would have to take acount on your frame. Are your parents large or small framed?

I hope this helps.
