BMI is a very poor metric for determining if someone is overweight. A basic example is if someone has more muscle mass, since muscle weights considerably more than fat, they will be seen as "overweight" if you do not include a physical evaluation. BMI is more useful when combined with water displacement, but the best way to make such a determination is direct observation.
Certainly, some dude on a forum for 14 year old elf simulators shouldn't be telling someone they are overweight based simply on a BMI. That's ridiculous.
