The standard generally used is Body Mass Index, which is a formula used to calculate a healthy weight range based on your height. A BMI of more than 25 is considered overweight.

You can use a BMI calculator, which can be found at various health websites, to tell if your Body Mass Index is above the recommended level calculated for your height, weight and age.

You are overweight if clothes that you used to wear you can no longer fit. Also, if your cardio is not what it used to be, you are probably overweight or out of shape. The best way to tell is get weighed by a nutritionist and find out what the optimum weight is for your height.
