BMI at 6'3"
Every weight from 40 kg to 110 kg at 6 feet 3 inches, plotted on both published scales and then listed in full.
Healthy weight range · Asian-Indian scale
67.1–83.1kg
At 6'3" (190.5 cm), the healthy weight range on the Asian-Indian scale is 67.1 kg to 83.1 kg — BMI 18.5 to 22.9. Overweight begins at 83.5 kg and the obese action point is 99.8 kg. It is a window, not a target: every kilogram inside it is a defensible place for a body to sit.
On the standard WHO scale the same height gives a healthy range up to 90.4 kg, with overweight from 90.7 kg and obesity from 108.9 kg.

Why this site reads 23 and not 25 — the full argument, with the 2004 consultation quoted →
At 6'3", the outlined window is the healthy range on the Asian-Indian scale: 67.1 – 83.1 kg. The shaded columns are where the two rulebooks return different verdicts for the same body — 83.5 to 90.7 kg and 99.8 to 108.9 kg at this height.
Sources: WHO Expert Consultation on BMI in Asian populations, The Lancet 2004 (action points 23.0 and 27.5); WHO retained the international classification at 25 and 30. Weights are those cutoffs at 190.5 cm.

How the Asian-Indian reading is derived
- Height is converted to metres. 190.5 cm becomes 1.9050 m.
- BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. The formula contains no sex, age or ethnicity term.
- The result is read against two published band sets. The Asian-Indian action points (23.0 and 27.5) come from the WHO expert consultation for Asian populations; the international classification (25 and 30) was deliberately retained by the same consultation.
- Healthy weight is reported as a range, never a single figure: the BMI 18.5 and 22.9 bounds are each multiplied by height squared.
- Where the two band sets return different verdicts, the gap is shaded in the diagram and stated in kilograms rather than left implied.
healthy weight = 18.5 x (1.91)^2 ... 22.9 x (1.91)^2 = 67.1 kg ... 83.1 kg

The two scales at this height
Between 83.5 kg and 90.7 kg, a person of 6'3" is overweight by Indian reckoning and normal by international reckoning. That 7.3 kg window is the shaded column in the diagram above, stated in kilograms.
