Hi Djraquel,
Your BMI is 20.9, which is within the healthy range.
Here's a breakdown of BMI:
Under weight <18.5
Normal weight 18.5-24.9
Overweight 25-29.9
Obese >30
Here's a tool where you can calculate your body mass index (BMI).
Also, at the age of 17, you are able to plot your BMI on a growth chart. A BMI of 20.9 for a 17 year-old is right on the 50th percentile, which is great!
All the best,
