Not great.: one of the criteria for Metabolic Syndrome is a waist circumference of 35 inches or more. By itself, this does not give you a disease state, but if you add in high blood pressure or sugar, or high triglycerides or low HDL, it can signal trouble. You are only 18, according to the listing. Please look into lifestyle changes now, while you are young. It can make a huge difference.
