    I am under 5 ft ….. and 110 pounds looks larger on me than it does on a person who is taller. I jokingly say that taller people have more places to hide their weight!

    A combination of height and “body mass” will cause weight differences primarily, although there are some minor weight fluxuations due to genetic differences such as the weight of your hea, bones, etc. But Height and amount of body fat are the two big weight factors
