99 kilograms is 15 st 8.3 lb. The exact arithmetic is 99 × 0.1574730444 = 15.5898313974 stones, using the defined factor rather than a rounded one, so this matches what a calibrated instrument would give you.
At 99 kg, BMI works out to 38.7 at 1.60 m, 34.3 at 1.70 m, 30.6 at 1.80 m and 27.4 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.
