How many pounds is considered obese?

It is getting close to 50% now.

16 to 33 percent

It depends entirely how tall you are, male/female etc. There are various tables available that show the appropriate height/weight ratios

It's not weight that determines obesity. It's your BMI. Body Mass Index. Which is an estimate of your body fat, based on your height and weight. You are considered obese once it's over 29.9 percent.

15 pounds too much, OF COURSE that's overweight. It's not obese, but it is definitely overweight. Watch what you eat, go to the gym three or four times a week, you'll be fine. Lose it, but don't...
