Bmi doesn't account for waist size and muscle tone. Why is it still used? At 5-9 170, i'd still be considered overweight...Ridiculous.

My BMI is 23 but my Waist Hip Ratio is 0.96. I have only managed to lose 7lb after fairly strict dieting for 3 months. I am slim everywhere except a panel of fat at the front. How worried should I be? Would HRT help?
