You are underweight really
So here are the Obesity Definitions:
BMI under 18.5: Underweight
BMI 18.5-25: Normal
BMI 25-30: Overweight
BMI 30-40: Obese
BMI 40+: Morbidly Obese/Extremely Obese/Grossly Obese/Pathologically Obese (these are all medical terms - who says there's no prejudice in the medical profession.?)
This is only a rough guide, because athletes tend to fall outside these categories. For example, every member of the England Rugby Team would be categorised as Morbidly Obese under these definitions because muscle weighs much more than fatHealth Question & Answer

No you are kinda short and petite. BMI can be extremely inaccurate and has been abandoned by medical professionals. You can't make yourself grow taller but it wouldn't hurt to gain a few extra pounds either!
