Yes by BMI: Obesity is no longer defined by only bmi standards. Otherwise people like body builders would often be defined as obese also. Waist circumference correlates better with visceral fat, which correlates best with obesity complications.

Yes, obese: Bmi corrects for frame size. You're still obese.Your ideal body weight would generally be about 180-190 # (81-83 kg). Get on a program of education, diet and exercise now.
