I understand your concerned and everything but maybe hes just a little embaressed to share these figures with you. You should tell him about the risk factors he has since he is overweight and consider to help him. If he isnt already in sports.. you 2 should join something together if your really good friends. Well I hope everything works out and good luck

You really shouldn't ask him how much he weighs. That is something personal that only him, his parents, and his doctor should know. I think you should just leave him alone. He probably feels uncomfortable when you keep asking him about it.

Try to get him to exercise without him knowing. Hang out after school and play football or something. If that doesn't work and it really bugs you, tell him what you feel about the 'problem', friends can always tell each other what they think, you are friends, right?
