Okay, Im 16, Male, and I'm 5 ft 10
Im very fit person. Ive always played football, cricket, gone swimming, gone to a gym, all that healthy stuff.
Anyway In September 2011, I quit football, for no particular reason. And cricket as well. This didn't affect my weight at all.
But since christmas, my weight has increased "rapidlly"
I remember weighing myself on christmas eve just for a laugh and I was 145 pounds.
Then, gradually, without me even noticing, I began eating more, and more junk. I was eating a lot of chocolate and crips, as well as fizzy drinks. But I wasn't getting any fatter.
I was also drinking more alcohol than before. Not loads, but like every normal teenager, going out once a week, getting smashed. Then having the occasional few during the week.
Anyway. I gained no weight at all for 3 and a half months. Eating what and however much I liked, drinking with mates. Only going to the gym oncce a week!
Then at around the start of April I noticed id put on a few pounds, only like 3 or 4, but I thought this was just puberty. Then it was another 2, then another 2, and so on.
It was only when I was invited out for a meal with my mates last week, that I realised how much weight id put on.
Because he was leaving the country we decided to go out properly, suits and all that. Anyway. I had the suit I wore at christmas still so I thought that will do. Went to put it on and the shirt wouldn`t button up past the 3rd button down. And the trousers were unbelievably tight. Anyway I managed to put it on and my belly hungover by about 3 inches, all the way round the waistband.
Anyway Im not proud to say I now have a double chin, love handles, and a small beer belly. And Im now 178 pounds!
I want to know why the weight all piled on at once?
And Am I fat?
Here's a picture of me

There is some slight over weight, not really "fat" the position of each person at least the guy seems posed to make his weight look worst.

Here is a height and weigh chart
Height and Weight Chart - height weight chart, weight height chart (http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm)

I would say some exercise and actually more muscle tone would help more than anything

Fat? No. Fluffy... a little.
