Eighty kilos at 1.80 m is one of the most searched combinations, and it sits near the top of the WHO normal-weight band. The table below shows how many kilos separate this case from the cut-off at 25.
Being close to the line means nothing on its own. Anyone this tall who lifts and carries some muscle will pass 25 without any extra fat. If the number bothers you, measure your waist or estimate body fat before you change your diet.
How this was calculated
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². The cut-offs are the WHO ones. It does not separate muscle from fat.
