16 years old po ako. Napansin po ng kaibigan ko na tumaba daw ako. Normal po ba sa kababaihan na edad 16 years old ang pagtaba? Salamat po sa makakasagot.

Hi,

Yes, it's normal. Weight gain in teenage years is a normal process towards adulthood. Weight gain during this time is about 15 pounds for girls and twice that for boys (30 pounds).

Minomonitor mo ba ang timbang mo?
