lower then 81% of males 15-29 in the US
higher then 60% of males 15-29 in the world
can't help but noticing that now the Americans are fatter then Samoans......

If everyone in the world had the same BMI as you, it would remove 5,217,101 tonnes from the total weight of the world's population |

I'm not quite in kermit's league: 22 BMI, so for males 45-59 I'm thinner than 93% US, 71% world, and like a typical person from Chad. But note that the fine print explains that it overestimates muscular athletes like me. 
Funny thing -- BMI is largely discredited these days, but I came up with it independently when I was in high school. Fun thing to use my first calculator for.
