Maybe: Your body mass index is 25, which is just at the lower range for "overweight". This may not be the case for you, as your weight may be related to a higher degree of muscle mass. I have included a link below for further information on body mass index. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi/bmi-m.htm.
