Obesity in children and adolescents is typically assessed using the Body Mass Index (BMI) rather than a specific weight in stone. For a 12-year-old, a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for their age and sex is considered obese. This can vary significantly based on height and body composition, but generally, a weight of over 10-12 stone (140-168 lbs) could indicate obesity for many 12-year-olds, depending on their height. It is important to consult growth charts and healthcare professionals for accurate assessments.
