Just about anyone who lifts weight is “obese”. You put on some muscle mass, it doesn’t matter how little fat you have on your body. You can be very ripped and the number from the scale will result in a finding of “obese”
The BMI caculator is not perfect but it is fairly accurate for 80% of the population who are not muscle bound athletes or outside the norm due to height.
What people we consider normal weight today are fatsos compared to 100 years ago.

I don’t dispute that, but I’m neither muscle bound, tall, nor “big-boned” and if I were to be in the “ideal” BMI range I’d look like a concentration camp occupant. BTW, I’m an advocate for being fit but that would be impossible for me to maintain.
