 Okay first things first. You're not overweight. You're at the lower end of normal on the Body Mass Index scale. A normal body mass index is between 19 and 25 and yours will be between 20 and 21. His will be lower but quite a lot of guys are skinny at this age and only fill out later. As long as you're sure he's eating regularly then I don't think there's any problem, he's just a late developer.
