135 kilograms works out to 297.6240539 lb. The calculation is 135 × 2.204622622, and the unrounded result is 297.62405395 pounds, which is the number to use if this feeds into anything else.
At 135 kg, BMI works out to 52.7 at 1.60 m, 46.7 at 1.70 m, 41.7 at 1.80 m and 37.4 at 1.90 m. The healthy band tops out at 25, so the same weight can sit in three different categories depending on height — which is the whole limitation of the index.
The result sits 2.376 lb short of 300 lb, so if you need a round figure to quote, 300 lb is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: multiply by 2.2 instead of using the exact factor 2.204622622. At 135 that shortcut gives 297 pounds, off by 0.6241 pounds or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
