To be concerned about my teenage sons weight?

I have recently noticed my DS putting on weight. He is 15 years old and is very active. He plays football a couple of times a week and also plays cricket. These activities only really happen during term time so over the holidays he has refused to do anything.
We all try to eat as healthily as possible: home cooked meals one snack a day and making sure we all get our 5 a day.
To me when he has clothes on he looks normal, like most boys his age, but when he takes his shirt off he looks chubby with a belly, a small but noticeable double chin and he even has small man boobs. He has always been broad but just worried that this could turn into him becoming overweight

We don't have any sugary drinks in the house and we mainly just drink water but I'll try to investigate outside of the house
