Brief Answer:
Overweight

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the info.

Sorry for the delay in my response,

Your BMI is around 28.7 and comes under overweight category.

Considering your age I would not recommend strict diet or exercise.

A low carbohydrate diet comprising daily calorie intake of not more than 1500 calories will do.

You can increase the number of steps to 10000 per day for better results.

Hope, I answered your query.

Please do ask if any doubts.
