I'm like 5'4 115 pounds and I started showing early bc I don't really have that much room for the baby.  It really dependends on how much room there is for the baby.

I'm 5'3" and I was 170 Lbs starting out. Mt first pregnancy I didn't show until 16 weeks, with this second pregnancy I started showing at 13 weeks. It is different for every woman though. My best friend is 5'9" and was 180 (flat stomach) and she started showing at 12 weeks.
