Answer
"Too fat" isn't defined by a specific kilogram amount but rather by BMI and health markers. A BMI of 30 or higher is classified as obese, which carries increased health risks. However, this varies by height—for someone 5'7" (170 cm), obesity begins around 88 kg (194 lbs), while for someone 6'0" (183 cm), it's around 99 kg (218 lbs). More importantly, health indicators like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar are better markers of health than weight alone.
