Overweight does not mean you are fat.. There are two types of 'over....'. Overweight means you are heavier than the recommended weight for your build/height etc, but this isn't necessarily fat content. As the person said before muscle weighs a lot more than fat, so if you are a mesomorphic body type then you carry a lot more muscle content than fat meaning you'll weigh more than say a person who is the same size as you but has a higher fat content (endomorphic). Weight is determined by a number of factors and .1 on the Bmi scale is only a few pounds anyway. Overweight doesn't necessarily mean you're on the way to obesity! On the other hand the second 'over' is overfat which does mean you are carrying too much fat in the body which CAN lead to obesity. But i don't think that applies to you! Your weight being over the normal range on the bmi scale could be down to lots of normal things like water retention, muscle etc. I wouldn't worry about the .1. Anyway if you are worried and want to lose weight to get to 25, you only need to lose a little bit:)
Hope that helps

overweight is sort of a factual term, whereas fat is mostly a matter of opinion. If you are only .1 over, you're just barely overweight, you're not obese or anything! also, it depends a lot on how much muscle you have. Muscle weighs more than fat, so ifyou are a very muscly person, it could claim you're overweight, when you're actually in great shape. I hope you understand what I mean. If that isn't the case though, I would suggest changing your eating and exercise habbits just a tiny bit to get back into that healthy zone. goodluck and tell me if you want some tips!
