There are different categories used to classify weight status, based on Body Mass Index (BMI), which takes into account height and weight. If a person is heavier than the standard for their height, they would generally be classified as "overweight." Obesity is a classification specifically for individuals with a BMI above a certain threshold, indicating a higher degree of excess weight. The terms "hefty" and "extremely obese" are less commonly used and not specific classifications in relation to BMI.
