90 kilograms is 14 st 2.4 lb. The exact arithmetic is 90 × 0.1574730444 = 14.1725739976 stones, using the defined factor rather than a rounded one, so this matches what a calibrated instrument would give you.
At 90 kg, BMI works out to 35.2 at 1.60 m, 31.1 at 1.70 m, 27.8 at 1.80 m and 24.9 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.
Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 6.4 instead of using the exact factor 0.1574730444. At 90 that shortcut gives 14.0625 stones, off by 0.1101 stones or about 0.78%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
