BMI is mainly for adults of usual height range, and not for body builders.
Quote:
Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI is a useful measure of overweight and obesity. It is calculated from your height and weight. BMI is an estimate of body fat and a good gauge of your risk for diseases that can occur with more body fat. The higher your BMI, the higher your risk for certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems, and certain cancers.
Although BMI can be used for most men and women, it does have some limits:
It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build.
It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle.

That said, being overweight due to excess muscle still can be a strain on the cardiovascular system and joints. Don't get too hench!
Edit: forgot to answer question, 24.7 here. Been stuck at home thanks to lockdowns and bad weather stuck in a deskjob. Excited to be getting more active now daytime has returned. Reduced my hours for wellbeing reasons. Renewed gym membership on Wednesday. Lets see if I bulk up or slim down!
