Answers:
Wow. Obviously your school has no idea what they're talking about. You're just at the right weight for your height. Your BMI is 23.4 and that's within the normal range. But keep in mind it doesn't take into consideration age, sex, body build, and above all, muscle weight.

Not to mention you're 11% body fat.? The average is 15-20%.

I think it's pretty obvious the majority of your weight is from muscle, which is absolutely fine. Muscle weighs more than fat. But it's better to weigh more in muscle than weigh less in fat.Health Question & Answer
