Women whose body fat exceeds 30% and men whose body fat exceeds 25% are generally considered obese.
Obesity is normally determined by Body Mass Index. Accurate determinations of body fat percentage are highly problematic. Typically a person with BMI > 30 would be considered obese and would have a body fat percentage of 25% or more.
When one's body fat becomes 20 percent higher than normal they are considered obese. If one's body mass index is over 30 they are considered obese. Sometimes diet and exercise works but after those avenues have been explored with no avail, bariatric surgery can become an option.
For a woman to be considered fit she should have between 21���24% body fat. If a woman's body fat level gets up around 31% she would be considered unhealthy or obese. A man would be considered fit if his body fat was around 14���17%. At around 24, 25 % body fat a man would be considered obese or unhealthy.

Again, it is essential to know more then the question provides data on. Women need between 12 an 15 percent Essential body fat. Female athlletes carry about 18 percent bodyfat, healthy women carry about 26 percent, and an obese woman has 32 percent of more body fat. Men are considered obese at 25 percent Male athletes carry about 10 percent body fat and the survival level or Essential for men is at least two percent. When bodyfat falls below Essential levels the body's organs begin shutting down.
A person is considered fat or overweight/obese, if they have a high BMI (Body Mass Index). That is their weight in proportion to the height.
Twenty to forty percent over ideal weight is considered mildly obese; 40-100% over ideal weight is considered moderately obese; and 100% over ideal weight is considered severely, or morbidly, obese.
