Hey, we're not seeing your snake so we can't tell you whether or not he's overweight just by his weight alone: it depends on how LONG he is also.
Think of a human being instead: is an adult human overweight if they weigh 160 lbs? They probably are if they're only 5'2", but not if they're 6' tall. Ever hear of BMI measurements? Well, there's no such thing for snakes, but there's this chart:

There's NO such thing as an average weight for snakes of a certain "age"- snakes grow according to what & how much they're fed & also depends on how well they can digest (ie. if they've been warm enough to digest all 12 months of the year, & other factors including health & stress). It's also normal for BPs to hide & rest MOST of the time- they tend to move around more at night, when the lights are out & you're likely asleep, not watching them.
