Well you need to stand up for yourself, even if it is your family and they should know better, toss some comebacks their way.
As to your appearance, you just need to make the best of it, do your best to look good and clean and people will notice.
Parents may treat different generations of kids differently for whatever reason, perhaps they feel they let your brother play too much computer and it affected his grades so he's trying to prevent the same from happening with you.
If you think you have heart disease or other ailments then consulting a doctor would be wise, even with a weak heart or similar you can still live a long and full life, you just need to be willing to make some changes to accomodate that (healthy diet, frequent exercise etc., a doctor would know better).
It sounds like you have good friends so build on that.
