The correct response would be "overweight" or "obese".

To determine if a person is heavier than the standard for their height, you would need to calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI). BMI is a measurement that takes into account a person's weight and height to assess their body fatness.

To calculate BMI, follow these steps:
1. Measure the person's weight in kilograms (kg).
2. Measure the person's height in meters (m).
3. Square the person's height by multiplying it by itself (height^2).
4. Divide the person's weight by the squared height (weight / height^2).

Once you have calculated the BMI, you can compare it to standard BMI ranges to determine if the person is overweight or obese.

- If the calculated BMI is between 25 and 29.9, it indicates overweight.
- If the calculated BMI is 30 or above, it indicates obesity.

Please note that BMI is a general indicator and does not take into account factors such as muscle mass, bone density, or body composition. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive evaluation.
