does cute mean you're chubby?

I'm 5'4-5'5" tall and I'm about 112 lbs. so I know I'm not chubby but I always hear people saying that cute means chubby and young looking. I'm 16 and I look a little young I suppose...or is cute just a nice way of saying you're ugly? I get called cute, pretty, and beautiful. So I'm not sure which I'm supposed to believe. Guys what are your definitions of the ratings? And girls what are yours?

Update:

(on a side question to cute) Cute does mean attractive in looks to?

Update 2:

so some people think cute is better? That's a first XD

    cute actually means you're attractive/pretty - attractive is too neutral/not-endearing, while pretty comes across as insincere for some reason. Cute is something that conveys genuine attraction.

    Shorter girls/young women (5'0" or so) often get classified as cute over petite.

    there are four levels of compliments for girls.

    cute

    pretty

    hot

    beautiful

    wen you get to a certain age--say 16 and over, you start getting sick of hearing

    "Hey, you're really cute"

    Personally, i get that from guys, and i am and 5foot 9.

    My definition of cute, is little 11 year old girl with nice clothes on. Not a fully blown teen on the verge of womanhood.

    Beautiful is the word that any girl would love to hear.
