I’m 39 years old, male, 198 cm tall, 120 kg weight. My BMI is 30.6 and it falls in the Obese Class I category; but I don’t feel “fat”? I also wouldn’t say I look obese; bulky? sure.

    pretty much this. though I’d also add that if one has a BMI high enough to be overweight, and aren’t fat or at least a big doughy on the edges, one probably invests a great deal of time and energy keeping up on that body… and therefore wouldn’t be asking or arguing the whole “i’m not fat” thing.

      Yep

      I work a reasonably physical job, I don’t spend much time sitting, I’m very careful with my food (I’ve been fat before)

      I could probably stand to lose a little weight, but I am more flexible, limber and agile than lots of blokes half my age, and I want to keep it that way
