Indeed, it’s pretty much overweight.

Only slightly from a medical standpoint, and a fair way from being obese.

I am 161(.5) cm and range between 110-115 lb (50-52kg) and I am perfectly healthy...? By bmi and by several doctors opinions. Or do you mean 62kg is too heavy? I think it's the upper end of normal.

Yeah BMI doesn't always work.

Sometimes you can get short people who are carrying lots of muscle and their BMI is off. I know a guy like this, he's never juiced a day in his life and is ripped as hell but his BMI says he is obese, which is laughable if you look at him.

BMI doesn't work for people who workout. But it does work for the average person since the vast majority of people do not work out.
