Is it normal to be this weight but not feel obese?

Is it normal that I am 5'9" and 180 pounds? Is this to heavy for a female? I can run and move just fine, and I don't feel as unhealthy as maybe I should. I am muscular under a layer of soft squishiness, and I am naturally curvy( big busted and some junk in the trunk) but I also have somewhat of a belly that I can't get rid of. I really just wanted to know if with my body type, this weight is okay or just simply obese? I know I could stand to lose some but am I endangering my health?

    BMI is bullshit anyways because it doesn't take muscle mass into account. If you feel good... Whatever, just be happy

    Because you're tall, your BMI is 26.6 which means you're only 10 lbs overweight. You're NOT obese by medical standards so please ignore anyone who says you're obese because they're uninformed.

    130 lbs is nearly UNDERWEIGHT so don't aim to be that thin. What really counts is being happy with your body and being healthy. So if you feel healthy that's good! Enjoy your curves :-)

    Tbh, you are fat. I don't know about the US, but you are definately fat by British standards. At a slight guess, I think that for that height, around 130 - 140lbs is healthy. By medical standards, you are obese and should probably try and lose weight.

    Just check your BMI, height & weight gives you the "body mass index" which is a guideline for health. I dont believe at your height, that youre considered obese at ALL, but I think you might be overweight.

    Obese is where you're literally round like a ball from being fat.
