Is this considered obese?

I am 5ft6.5 and 93kg and my BMI puts me at obese but I'm a size 12/14 in clothes which I didn't think would be seen as obese. I know I'm a little overweight but I don't have a double chin or a purtruding gut or anything that I would consider to be features of obesity.
It's making me really upset when I go to the doctors because they keep saying I'm obese and at risk of health problems and should lose 4 stone but I think I'd be way to thin at that weight. What do you think? Am I just deluded and I am actually obese :(

Uh,no.
Obese is when you're so big,it becomes difficult to do everyday things such as walking,exercising,showering,ect. And wearing a size 14 in pants would be waaay too small for someone that is actually obese.
Your doctor is just a dumbass and has probably never heard of my 600 lbs life before. Don't listen to her/him.

That's not really true. That would be morbidly obese and even then I could have do all the things just slower.

I hope op sorted their problem though considering it's been quite a few years...

That’s very obese, sorry. Even with the swimming. My cyclist DH is the same weight as you at 5’10 and just at the very top of the overweight range. Could you go to a gym to check your body fat?
