Look at it another way. 87 lbs of your body weight is fat. Your fat % is high.

About 62.7% of your body is a combination of bone, muscle, vital organs (including skin) and blood.  So, no, your body probably isn't more that 50% muscle. In addition, anything over 30% body fat is an indication that you are carrying too much fat. A healthy body fat percentage for a man aged 18-60 would be 22-30%.

Well no, a lot of it is water, there are some bones too.  Sure look in a mirror, you can tell where the fat is. Technically, your obese, but that is just the scale saying that.  But a mirror look will tell.  Be honest.  I am 6' 3" and 240 lbs.  I know where the fat is.  Its in the spare tire that I have.  I have to take things down to 215 in order to lose it.  Even then, the charts would say that I am fat.  But not in the mirror.  Not everyone is a text book rail...
