Hi, you weight is perfect! as per your age and height, it should be between 66 to 75kgs. The body mass index (bmi) or quetelet index is a value derived from the mass (weight) and height of an individual. The bmi is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is universally expressed in units of kg/m2, resulting from mass in kilograms and height in metres. The bmi is an attempt to quantify the amount of tissue mass (muscle, fat, and bone) in an individual, and then categorize that person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on that value.
