Dr. Charles Gordon answered

Specializes in Adolescent Medicine

Cdc criteria: Average based on US growth charts is that your weight should be about 45 kilo or 100 pounds. Using BMI criteria of overweight being having a BMI of between 25 and 30 that would put your overweight numbers at between 132 pounds (60 kg) and 158 pounds ( 72 kg ).
