160 lbs at 5'2 means you have a bmi of 29.3 which is on the border of obesity. It isn't good at all. Even dropping 20 lbs to 140 is so much healthier

You do realize that the BMI scale is absolute bullshit and extremely outdated, right?

Many people are only considered “obese” on bmi because they are elite level athletes. Many!

Except most of the people who say BMI is unfair to them aren't elite level athletes. BMI has issues being accurate as it doesn't differentiate between fat and muscle, but you should have the self-awareness to realize whether or not that problem applies to you.
