• Confirmed: The CDC defines BMI categories: underweight (<18.5), healthy weight (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), obesity (≥30) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (U.S. public health agency)).
• Confirmed: The American Heart Association uses the same thresholds (American Heart Association (cardiology organization)).
• Unclear: Whether 180 lbs is “heavy” depends entirely on height, gender, and muscle mass. For a 5’9″ person, 180 lbs yields a BMI of ~26.6 (overweight). For a 6’2″ person, the same weight gives a BMI of ~23.1 (healthy). (Merck Manual (medical reference))
