Are you obese?
From last night's Yorkshire Evening Post, which I have only just got round to reading. Obesity and problems of overweight are very much in the news, in Britain, at present.
To find out whether you are normal, overweight, or obese, you need to calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI). This is equal to your weight in kilograms, divided by the square of your height, in metres. If your BMI is less than 25, you have no problem. Between 25 and 30, you are overweight, but not clinically obese. If your BMI is over 30, you are clinically obese and you can expect associated health problems. No disitinction is made between male and female; both use the same value of BMI. No allowance is made for your age.
In my own case, my height is 5'10", which is 1.78m. My weight is 14st 2lb, which is 90kg exactly. My BMI = 90 / (1.78^2) = 28.
I am overweight, but not obese, and need to lose 10 kg = 22 lb.

Being obese has more health problems than being a smoker, economically poor and heavy drinker (all together).
