Yes, it's overwieght. A BMI of 20 is much more desirable and healthy. In terms of "fat," it depends on how the weight is distributed, but it likely is considered fat.

How fat can you be until you are considered overweight?

You height and body structure determine how fat you can be to be considered overweight. Your BMI, or body mass index at a healthy weight should be from 18.5 to 24.9. You are overweight if your BMI is between 25 and 29.9.


What BMI would identify when a woman is fat?

A BMI of 18.5 - 24.9 would be the average BMI for a woman. To be obese or overweight, you would need to receive a score of 25+ to be classified as fat.


How BMI is not a perfect tool?

It doesn't factor in muscle mass, which is more dense than fat is. Notice how some bodybuilders or professional football players can weigh a lot. If you took some of their BMI's, they would probably almost all fit into the overweight or obese range. However, they aren't overweight at all, and not unhealthy, but BMI would say they were. That's why, in some cases, a body fat test is more accurate, and BMI should just be used as a general guideline. Take it with a grain of salt!

The word fat is subjective. However, the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale is an objective measurement which concludes if one is underweight, overweight, or obese. Therefore, if one would like to know if they are overweight use a BMI chart or calculator that will compare one's weight to one's height and answer the question of being overweight.

Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 25.9. Overweight is 25 to 29.9 so you are a little overweight. However, these categories are based on average adults. Whether or not you are fat also depends on how much of your mass is muscular rather than fat.
