Hey Hardik! According to my knowledge a candidate falling in a age group of 16 - 17 years and is of height around 169 cm must have 52 kg of weight for Navy and 51 kg of weight for Air force and Army. So in both the cases you need to loose some, its upto you for which wing you are lookin for. Hope this may help you.
hello,
first of all, you are perfect and,
Body Mass Index, or BMI, is a key index that relates to one’s height and weight. It is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his/her height in meters. The National Institute of Health (NIH) has now defined BMI to be the deciding parameter to know if you are underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese.
Hence, knowing your BMI is a very important factor in maintaining a healthy body and an optimum fitness level. A healthy BMI can also help you keep diseases like heart problem, type 2 diabetes and hypertension at bay. A normal BMI is an indicator of being at your ideal weight. BMI is basically a quantified measure for the amount of tissue mass, that is muscles, fat and bones, of an individual.
However, if you are an athlete or an overall active person, your body weight may be high not because of fat but because of muscle. Muscle is denser than fat and abundance of muscle means more weight and hence, higher BMI. But in such a situation, it is not unhealthy because it doesn’t have the associated health risks which a high BMI reading carries.
thus calculate your BMI which is 20.7 comes under normal group thus you don't have to lose weight officially but if you still want then it's your choice.
good wishes :)
