Are 68% Skeleton Muscle Mass too much?

I'm 15, and had a checkup yesterday because my parents wanted me to do it

And I got 68% SMM, 8% Bodyfat and i got told that 68% is too muchHe told me that normal is 30-40% and even bodybuilders stay at about 60%

Do you think it's really too much?

    Typical male body composition:

    Body fat: 5-25%

    Muscle mass: 35-55%

    Bone mass: 15%

    Vital organs/bodily fluids/waste: 25%

    If 68% includes BOTH muscle AND bone mass, then that is high, but not unheard of. The number is high because you have a very low body fat percentage.
