Check it out: Use a BMI calculator to know. SEE: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm. BMI Categories: Underweight = <18.5 * Normal weight = 18.5–24.9 * Overweight = 25–29.9 * Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater. By checking your BMI you can get an idea of whether you are in a healthy range.

30.3: Your weight puts you in the obese range. Try to keep you weight around 150 pounds, no higher. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex. Wish you good health!
