HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
BMI (body mass index) calculates the weight for height. It determines if a persons weight is too low, good or too high for their height.
If the calculated BMI is greater than 25 then the person is overweight, if greater than 30, then the person is obese.
Your BMI is 29.5.
It may not be possible to lose weight to get a BMI of 25 because losing weight can sometimes be difficult and only a 10% weight loss is needed for health benefits to occur .
For a BMI of 25, the weight would have to be 165 pound (74.8 kg).
There are different types of diets, the main ones are the low fat/low calorie diet and also the low carbohydrate diet.
You can choose the one that best suits you.
I hope this helps
