What gives?

5ft 11 at best
31
Waist size 36, can squeeze into 34s without a belt
Belly is not flabby but not exactly toned, just average
Fairly strong but not more than average
Wear large shirt sizes, size 10 shoe if it means anything.
Fairly wide shoulders
Lazy as hell
Race: likely indian but not sure as family history is weak as i'm of Caribbean heritage.

Naked weight at home: 102kg, work scale and mates scale 103.4kg

The thing is, i weighed 100kg at 16 and was obese, fat rolls, many chins and size 40+ waist. Same weight 15yrs later and i'm not? Should i be worried? do i have secret man fat or muscle? :D
 
Sounds about right? I fit into 32" waist with room for a finger or two in the waistband and weigh somewhere between 80-85kg. Oh and I'm 5'10". Not muscular, but not fat.
 
Secret muscle if anything.

That's quite a weight on a small height and a 36 waist isn't 16 stone fat imo. Are you sure you're not just wearing your jeans lower?
 
Your BMI is over 30, so you're fat.

If you were a muscular guy, then I wouldn't pay attention to BMI, but seeing as you're a normal bloke, it's classed as obese.
 
I have Carribean ancestry too, and I'm also heavy, though a lot heavier than you. People peg me at being about 15/16 stone, I'm not even close.

Dem heavy bones, right? Bone density and muscle. Fat isn't particularly dense compared to muscle and bone, so measurements tell more than what the scales say.
 
Secret muscle if anything.

No, also same for work trousers etc.. can ride it up past my navel with no problem. People generally don't believe me and some say 'theres nothing of you!" (mostly older women). My dad is pretty stocky at 5ft 8 and 15 stone, solid and stronger than most people i know, apart from a beer gut that is but i can say thats probably muscle as hes a sportsman and was an athlete from day one and still fairly active in that regard at 61.
