Stay where you are: Your BMI, Body Mass Index is currently 22.2. BMI correlates with total body fat, taking in calculation your weight over your height, ideally should be less than 25, where you want to be will be 25 - 25.4, i.e. Overweight, which can easily be obese, over 30, with all the ill health implications of overweight / obesity. You can still exercise and eat healthy to build muscle bulk. Good luck
