Rough Estimate: You can get an estimate using a BMI calculator on line. However, be aware that it very muscular - that the results could be off.

BMI and body fat: You can check your BMI by yourself - there are calculators online for that. But the interpretation of you BMI, the integration of your BMI with your body fat percentage and the development of an appropriate health strategy would require a nutritionist (dietitian - with an R.D. Degree).
