The short answer: 95 pounds comes to 43.09127515 kg. That is 95 multiplied by 0.45359237, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
At 43.0913 kg, BMI works out to 16.8 at 1.60 m, 14.9 at 1.70 m, 13.3 at 1.80 m and 11.9 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 1.909 kg short of 45 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 45 kg is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 2.2 instead of using the exact factor 0.45359237. At 95 that shortcut gives 43.181818 kilograms, off by 0.09054 kilograms or about 0.21%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
