Yes b/c BMI = 26.8: Definition of normal weight doesn't take into account gender, ethnicity or age (once you're an adult). Check out http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm where your Body Mass Index calculates to 26.8 w/25.0-29.9 being considered overweight & 30-39.9 being obese & 40+ being morbidly obese. But this is just a starting point for discussion if most of weight is muscle.
