I don't think 75KG is a good standard weight. I mean, what about people who are muscular? I go to the gym and nobody I know would say I am obese (I am a little overweight) but because of muscles I'm around 109KG - I was 100KG and overweight, now I'm thinner and stronger but actually heavier.

So should people who are muscular be exempt? Do we do it based on height vs muscle or body fat percentage?

Unless we consider this, there's no way to do it fairly without punishing people for things either they can't control or would in other contexts be a good thing.
