BMI can be helpful, however it really doesn't take into account things like muscle mass. Many weightlifters are considered overweight by that standard, even though they have almost no fat on their body.
The best way should be to talk to your doctor. He or she can take into account your body type, age, and medical history instead of simply looking at your height and weight.

Measure your BMI - body mass index - this is the easiest way.
Look at the wiki page
The cdc page has a body mass index calculator
