BMI at 5'3"
Every weight from 40 kg to 110 kg at 5 feet 3 inches, plotted on both published scales and then listed in full.
Healthy weight range · Asian-Indian scale
47.4–58.6kg
At 5'3" (160.0 cm), the healthy weight range on the Asian-Indian scale is 47.4 kg to 58.6 kg — BMI 18.5 to 22.9. Overweight begins at 58.9 kg and the obese action point is 70.4 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 63.8 kg, with overweight from 64.0 kg and obesity from 76.8 kg.

Why this site reads 23 and not 25 — the full argument, with the 2004 consultation quoted →
At 5'3", the outlined window is the healthy range on the Asian-Indian scale: 47.4 – 58.6 kg. The shaded columns are where the two rulebooks return different verdicts for the same body — 58.9 முதல் 64.0 கி.கி வரை மற்றும் 70.4 முதல் 76.8 கி.கி வரை 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 160.0 cm.

How the Asian-Indian reading is derived
- Height is converted to metres. 160.0 cm becomes 1.6002 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 (1.60)^2 ... 22.9 x (1.60)^2 = 47.4 kg ... 58.6 kg

Highlighted rows fall in the healthy band on the Asian-Indian scale (BMI 18.5–22.9). BMI = weight in kg ÷ (height in metres)². Height taken as 160.0 cm.
