I have always been considered overweight based on BMI. Even when I ran track, played soccer and swam and was in super good shape. It’s always been dumb, in my book.
I know the feeling, I am 71 and within less than four months of 72, six four barefoot and 255 pounds, according to BMI I am “obese” but young men envy my build and young women tell me I look “very athletic”. I spend a lot of time working on my property with a chain saw, cutting brush and trees, piling wood and burning it, using a shovel and an axe and when I can find time I go to the gym. I can out work most of the thirty year olds around here with no problem.
