As others have said, BMI is not a great way to measure your health.
I'm 6ft and since the start of 2024, my weight has fluctuated between 16 and 16 and a half stone, depending on what type of weight training I'm doing.
According to my BMI of 31 (give or take 1 either way) I'm obese.
However, my body fat is 15% (Last checked it 2 weeks ago).
At 50 years old it's becoming harder and harder to maintain that percentage however the BMI measurement classing me as "obese" is clearly a pile of old arse-gravy.
