Put 21 stones into the exact factor of 6.35029318 and you get 133.3561568 kg. Written out: 21 × 6.35029318 = 133.35615678 kilograms, with no rounding applied until the final display.
At 133.356 kg, BMI works out to 52.1 at 1.60 m, 46.1 at 1.70 m, 41.2 at 1.80 m and 36.9 at 1.90 m. The healthy band tops out at 25, so the same weight can sit in three different categories depending on height — which is the whole limitation of the index.
The result sits 3.356 kg past 130 kg, so if you need a round figure to quote, 130 kg is the honest nearest one.

Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
