THIS.

It's funny how the "BMI isn't reliable" is something a lot of people glommed on to, but it "isn't reliable" with some pretty big caveats.

For a good 90% of the population it's a broadly reliable, if imprecise tool (exceptions being athletes, bodybuilders, or people on the extreme end of short/tall). Chances are, if you're firmly in the underweight, normal, overweight, or obese range, yeah, that's where you belong.

Where's there's some wiggle room is if you're within 5 to 10 pounds of the boundaries. So, if you're within 5 to 10 pounds of the boundary between underweight and normal, normal and overweight, or overweight and obese, you're going to have to go to a more precise tool (body fat percentage) to actually get that answer. And the reason for that wiggle room comes down to physicality: bone density, skeletal frame size, muscle mass, (for women) breast size, (if you're someone that's lost a lot of weight) the amount of loose skin you're carrying, etc.

It's a big part of the reason why most doctors aren't going to get fussed if you're 10 pounds or less above "normal" BMI because at that point other things may be at play beyond the amount of body fat you're carrying.
