k being 15, 5'3, and 120 pounds gives a bmi of 21.3. perfectly healthy.
check for yourself

the healthy weight range for a girl who is 5'3 is 97-143 pounds. So 120 is actually a very reasonable goal.

i'm 5.3 and my healthy weight range is 140-130. i don't think 120 is practical unless you're small boned. (wrap your index finger and thumb around your wrist. if your fingers touch = medium boned. if your fingers don't touch = large boned. if you fingers overlap = small boned.) hope i helped!
