The way we understand obesity in general is outdated, BMI is a measure that works great on population statistic levels, but individuals tend to fall through the cracks in a lot of ways It details why BMI has issues, but then it pitches waist to height ratio as the new measure so 🤷🏾 https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/265215#Waist-size-linked-to-diabetes-risk,-regardless-of-BMI

You are right that BMI is outdated. It was more accurate back in 1981 than it is now.
