Your BMI on both the Indian (Asian) scale and the WHO international scale, your healthy weight range, and how far you are from it.
Your BMI
24.8
kg/m²
Indian / Asian scale
Overweight
18.5–22.9 healthy
WHO international
Normal
18.5–24.9 normal
Healthy weight for 168 cm on the Indian scale: 52.2–64.6 kg.
You are 5.4 kg above that range. At a steady 0.25–0.5 kg a week, that is about 11–22 weeks.
BMI doesn't separate muscle from fat — very muscular people can read “overweight”. For a closer look, use the body fat calculator.
At the same BMI, Indians tend to carry more body fat, especially around the belly, and develop diabetes and heart disease earlier. So 23 and above is already considered overweight.
Enter your height — the calculator shows the range for a BMI of 18.5 to 22.9.
No. BMI can't tell muscle from fat, so it overestimates fat in very muscular people. Use the body fat calculator or waist measurement as well.
No. Under 18, BMI is judged against age- and sex-specific percentiles. Use the child growth tool instead.
