Aircraft
We took off for ZZZ on time. I was PM (Pilot Monitoring). On climb out; the Captain said the trim was not working. I tried my electric trim; nothing. We configured the aircraft. Captain engaged the autopilot and we were both intent on monitoring whether or not the autopilot could trim. STAB OUT OF TRIM illuminated. We ran the STAB OUT OF TRIM QRH; which directed us to the STABILIZER TRIM INOPERATIVE QRH. After telling ATC we would like to remain at 16;000' and 250 knots to work a problem; we began to work through the checklist. Once we got to the DEFERRED ITEMS; we made the decision to return. We ran the [performance] numbers for flaps 15 and included the Non-normal Checklist. We both looked at the data before we sent it; but believe we might have missed the correct landing weight due to not manually correcting the fuel numbers in the [performance calculations]. We landed without difficulty or anything appearing abnormal; other than the smaller flap setting. We ran the brake cooling numbers and I realized the numbers came back for 120;000 pounds. I then resent brake cooling numbers for 132;000 pounds; which is 4;000 overweight.During a flight control abnormality; or any abnormality; it would be nice to have something included in the procedure for checking for correct [performance] numbers. There is enough to contend with to remember every detail that is unusual in something we use everyday like [the performance calculation system].
B737 First Officer reported elevator trim failed on climbout and returned to land.
