Body fat

Hello
I stepped on a scale that measures body fat.
Height: 165cm
Total weight: 114kg
Fat weight: 52kg
Non-fat weight: 62 kg
Healthy fat weight should be: 15-20 kg
Ideal weight: around 65 kg
Now, does this mean I only need to lose 30 kg? I find the last two results contradictory. According to them, I will need to lose 20 kg of muscle and water , plus 30kg of fat.
Do I need to lose water and muscle to reach my ideal weight?
I thought I have to increase muscle mass, not decrease it.
Please help me understand these results.
Thank you

You will always lose some muscle along with fat and water that is where exercise can help keep more muscle so you don't end up skinny fat. Shoot for healthy body fat % not really a weight get to a good BF% and if not happy with the results lose more but I think you will be. And just FYI BF scales are not 100% accurate either but good for following trends of BF%.1
