I'm 42 and have a BMI between 20-21 at 5'5", with a medical condition that makes me gain weight. Under 25 is where you should be. I weigh the same as I did in high school. Getting older doesn't equal weight gain. Stay active and watch what you eat. Or, stay whatever size you are and be happy and at peace as long as you are medically okay.
My mom at 5'4" and 200lbs now has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type two diabetes, and who knows what else. Same with my dad, who is overweight. I don't want to follow them, so staying in shape and watching what I eat is a priority.
