The short answer: 148 kilograms comes to 326.284148 lb. That is 148 multiplied by 2.204622622, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
At 148 kg, BMI works out to 57.8 at 1.60 m, 51.2 at 1.70 m, 45.7 at 1.80 m and 41 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 3.716 lb short of 330 lb, so if you need a round figure to quote, 330 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 148 that shortcut gives 325.6 pounds, off by 0.6841 pounds or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
