If you have a lot of muscle mass you could mistakenly be classified as "overweight". This is because the BMI scale, which is often used to classify weight status, only uses height and weight to determine overweight. This is why BMI is mostly only used for screening, and is notably less accurate for men and for highly muscular people.
So, if for instance you are 6 feet tall man who weighs 215 pounds but you only have 1.5% body fat then you are "overweight" only due to enormous muscles yet "underfat" meaning according to the Body Fat Percentage index you don't have enough body fat to remain healthy.
