For example, a muscular person may have a high BMI without being overweight extra muscle adds to body weight — but not fatness. Also, BMI might be hard to interpret during puberty when kids have periods of fast growth. Remember, BMI is usually a good indicator of body fat, but it's not a direct measurement. If you're worried, take your child or teen to see the doctor. The doctor will ask about eating and activity habits and make suggestions on how to make positive changes. The doctor also may order blood tests to look for some of the medical problems associated with obesity.
Depending on your child's BMI or weight-for-length measurement and health, the doctor may refer you to a registered dietitian or a weight management program. A number of things contribute to a person becoming overweight. Diet habits, lack of exercise, genetics , or a combination of these can be involved. In some instances, too much weight gain may be due to an endocrine problem, genetic syndrome , or some medicines.

Kids spend more time playing with electronic devices than actively playing outside.
Kids who watch TV more than 4 hours a day are more likely to be overweight compared with kids who watch 2 hours or less. And kids who have a TV in the bedroom also are more likely to be overweight. Many kids don't get enough physical activity.
