At 4’11 and 123 she definitely looks pudgy but not obese. I’m 5’1 and when I weighed 120 in college it looked terrible. Op should probably get down to 105-110. Which sounds low but again she is 4’11. [/quote]

I'm 5'1" also and can confirm that anything over 120 is too much for my frame.

That would depend on your body composition. With 95 lbs in lean mass and 25 in fat you would be lean. [/quote]

No. At 4’11-5’1 there’s nowhere for bulk to go. If you have a lot of muscle at that height, you will likely look firm and stocky- what most people think of as “bulky” when they say “I don’t want to look bulky” if they start lifting weights.  If you have more fat than muscle, you look chunky, even at a weight that doesn’t seem high.

It’s not that 120 is a heavy weight for everyone but at those heights it does not look the same as it does on someone taller. We are telling you this as people who ARE this height. If I were to even gain 5 lbs, be it fat or muscle, it would be visibly noticeable. Conversely, it is REALLY hard for someone this size to lean out because the deficit calorie count for someone this height is ridiculous. [/quote]
