The boy is lively as well as healthy. Does this sound natural?

A little unnatural
"The boy is healthy and lively." would be more common in conversation, although your sentence is correct.

Natural
It's correct.
It sounds a little formal though because I don't hear a lot of people use the word "lively" these days. But it's still a common word. I can't think of a more informal way to write it.

Yes, older people use "lively" and "active".
