Cut off point of 'high weight'

So I've always considered myself as 'high wight' but after looking in this section in curious to see what is actually considered. I'm not wanting to offend everyone with this question I just want to know if its my mental state telling me I'm 'high weight' when I'm maybe under another category due to once being underweight and well, anorexic. So this isn't a competition but due to personal opinion on this when do you no longer fit into the 'higher weight' category?

Anything above a normal BMI. Because then you're considered overweight and the struggles are different (because a restrictive eating disorder at a higher weight is often seen as a good thing because at least you're losing weight)
