These are the cut-offs set for South Asian bodies. At the same BMI we carry more fat and more diabetes risk, so the WHO puts "overweight" at 23 for Asian populations rather than 25.

The two charts, side by side

South Asian cut-offs (used here): Overweight
The general international chart: Healthy

A foreign chart or app would call this fine; on the cut-offs set for our bodies it is not. That gap is what this row is showing.

BMI is only height against weight — it knows nothing about muscle, frame or build, and it does not apply to pregnant women, children or athletes. This is not a diagnosis; see a doctor before deciding anything.
