Currently, obesity is measured by calculating the body mass index BMI which is calculated according to the height and weight. Check out the website and you can plug in the numbers to find out the BMI. It also gives info on how to interpret the BMI. Usually, obesity is defined by a BMI>25.

It would all depend on the height of the person in question as they do it in a weight to height ratio.
