If you are muscular and have a healthy body fat percentage, then it is a perfectly healthy weight.

The machine you used must be using a BMI scale to classify weight and height, which is notoriously inaccurate. BMI does not take into account the composition of someone's body: the amount of fat versus muscle. Unless you have too much excess fat, you will not actually be overweight no matter what you weigh.



Muscle weighs more than fat, so a lot of muscular people are classed as overweight. The real concern is body fat percentage which for you should be around 10-15%, most accurately measured with skin-fold callipers :)



For guy, yeah.
