Answers:
Do you know what your body fat percentage is? This will have a lot more information for you personally than the BMI which is based off averages. If your body has a high level of muscle you will weigh more than someone of equal size who has less muscle and more fat. According to BMI many athletes and bodybuilders are considered as un-healthily overweight.
The source list is a calculator for body fat percentage.
Remember that we are all unique, if you look good at 150 pounds be happy to know you look good and don't worry.
