Re: Am i over weight??
Well according to the BMI you are 18.5 which is bottom of normal weight. So no you are not over weight and no if you loose weight you will become under weight.

Depends on your bone structure aswell.

well because you could be 8ft tall in which case you'd expect them to weigh a lot but they could be normal weight for them because of their height and to calcu;ate you BMI you need body weight and height

Re: Am i over weight??
There are two methods to accurately determine if you are over-weight.
1) The first is to look at yourself in a mirror. If you are well defined, then chances are you're fine. If you notice sagging, then you may need to alter your nutrition and workout plans. Be honest with yourself, you'll know deep down if you need to lose weight.
2) Get your body fat percentage (BF%) measured. Most gyms will do this as a free service, or you can buy some calipers and measure it yourself (however, I would avoid doing this if you are inexperienced as it could result in inaccurate results). A healthy BF% for males is 10-20% and for females 20-30% (this is assuming you are under 30 years of age). The lower the percentage, the more defined you will appear.
Don't get obsessed with actual weight or BMI (body mass index), as they don't take into account the ratio of lean body mass in comparison to body fat.
I hope this helps you out!
