Okay Im 5'4' and I am about 150 pounds. I look puggy and I have strech marks on my thighs. So my question is, Im I over weight? If so how much should I lose? What should I start eating?
 
try googling BMI calculator this will allow you to calculate your BMI and while its not everythign its a good start. Also google 'waist circumference calculations' which will give you an idea of where you store your fat and if your waist size is putting you in the danger zone for health problems.

I am 5'6'' and 150 lbs and my BMI is at the top of a 'healthy weight' range but I feel I am over my ideal weight and like the range (for me) of 135 better.

I would look at it more from an angle of fitness compared to 'am I fat'
 
No one can tell you how much weight you should lose, that is totally up to you. The number on the scale shouldn't be your only goal. There are all kinds of different ways to measure success. Think about what is important to you and how you can define your own goals.
