Muscle and bone weigh more than fat, so if you're muscular or have dense bones or just a big skeleton, you might weigh more than average without being fat.

It's more important to have a healthy waist-hip ratio, and body fat ratio. A doctor can check your body fat content and tell you if you need to lose any weight.

Does fat weigh more than muscle?

No! A pound is a pound. 5 pounds of fat and five pounds of muscle weigh the same -- 5 pounds! However, muscle is much more dense and compact than fat, so it takes up a lot less space and you look a heck of a lot better when your percentage of lean body mass is higher than your percentage of fat.ANSWER!Fat actually weighs less than muscle per Cubic inch because muscle is so much denser. That is one of the reasons why BMI numbers can't be trusted. And we arent talking about 5 pounds of fat vs 5 pounds of muscle, were talking about the weight of n amount of muscle vs n amount of fat. Muscle would be much heavier.
