How to determine if you need to lose weight?

From a medical definition, obesity refers to a state in which the volume and quantity of fat cells in the body increase abnormally, resulting in weight exceeding the standard range. The body mass index (BMI) is commonly used as a diagnostic criterion in clinical practice. BMI=weight (kg) ÷ height (m) squared. In China, an adult with a BMI ≥ 24 is considered overweight, while a BMI ≥ 28 is considered obese; In addition, waist circumference is also an important indicator. Male waist circumference ≥ 90 cm and female waist circumference ≥ 85 cm belong to central obesity, which poses a more significant threat to internal organs.
