Healthy weight or have I gained too much?

I'm 5'3" and before I got pregnant I weighed about 113 lb. I'm almost 20 weeks and I weigh about 123 lb. My doctor says I should gain 20 to 30 pounds during my pregnancy. I'm trying to eat healthy, but it's kind of hard to because my family loves unhealthy food lol.. Have I gained too much or am I alright?

Update:

The reason I ask is because I was weighing myself and my grandmother was standing behind me and when she saw how much I weigh she said "Oh my!" lol. It made me laugh but also made me feel a bit self consious.

    Nope you're fine. I know ladies that have gained 30 lbs by 20 weeks so you are healthy!

    I think you are okay. Your OB should would let you know if you are gaining too much.
