How do I calculate my ideal weight?

Is BMI a reliable indicator of health?
BMI has limitations: it does not distinguish between muscle and fat mass, does not consider body fat distribution, and may not be accurate for athletes or elderly individuals. Waist circumference is an important additional measure.
