That calculator said 32% for me and I'm actually at 24% body fat (measured professionally)!.
Most online calculators are not very accurate, you should get some body fat callipers or go to a faciality that offers hydrostatic weighing or DXEA!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't trust online body-anything "calculators!." Some of them, such as this one, are absurd!. There are too many variables: they do not know what ratio of bone, muscle, organ tissue and water you have, so they can only estimate body fat percentage!. Besides, maybe they got the math wrong in the first place! Your measurements look normal to me!. I even tried the calculator myself; I got the same percentage as you, and people say that I'm skinny!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You cant calculate body fat percentage!. Every person is different in mass!. Someone of the same height can weigh more and appear thinner!. Look in the mirror, is your belly hanging over your pants!? do you have love handles!? does your but look like a bag of cottage cheese when you wear tight pants!? if the answer is no, then don't worry about being fat>Www@Answer-Health@Com
That's interesting!. Because at 5'6 125 you're definitely not overweight!. But I'm not either, I'm pretty skinny, but I have more body fat than I want to!. Well maybe try to work out certain areas, tone them and turn fat into muscle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think the BMI calculators are very inaccurate!. They don't take shape into account at all!. I think that at your height and size you are probably SLIM!. Don't let it fool you! You probably look slammin at that size (I'm the same height and I looked good at 140 =p)Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think your only problem is learning how to type!. I just tried your height and weight on two different BMI calculators, and they both gave under 21% body fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I did the male version and it was just a tad bit high!. but after looking at your stuff, that sounds horribly wrong!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No, a regular BMI Calculator will tell you that you're not obese!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
