BMI 25–29.9 is classified as overweight; 30+ as obese. To reach BMI 24.9 (top of normal range): target weight = 24.9 × height(m)². Weight loss needed = current weight − target weight. Losing 1–2 lb/week via a 500–1000 kcal/day deficit is evidence-based. Waist circumference provides additional cardiovascular risk information beyond BMI.
