Stronger individuals may have a higher BMI while still being healthier than those with a lower BMI but higher body fat. Ultimately, BMI is just one of many indicators of health.

It's mainly down to the BMI but do not be surprised if this comes out strange as it does not work always work fully/ as good as poss. on young adults/ kids! I calculated the BMI myself and it came out as 21.80 which is basically the ideal weight. Here is the chart in which you find out which category you fall into: Recommended BMI Chart Underweight BMI less than 18.5 Ideal BMI 18.5-25 Overweight BMI 25-30 Obese BMI 30-40 Very obese BMI greater than 40 So don't worry about it and make sure the BMI doesn't get too high. Hope this helps! P.S. the chart is an official chart (not something I have made up)
