Final thing: If I lift my scales off the floor because I take a shower (my bathroom gets flooded due to poor construction) and put it back down after the floor is dry then the first measurement is always around 1.7kg more. I have no idea why. So I always step on twice.
There's a lot of people at different weights at that height and there's a lot of vanity clothing sizing.
Could they be right? Yes.
Could they be wrong? Also yes.
Use your scale to weigh something you know the weight of. Like put a 10 lb weight on it. Does the scale weigh it accurately? Can you calibrate the scale to zero to adjust it if not and re-weigh the item?
Could you compare your weight on your scale with a friend's scale? Weigh yourself and then go to a friend's place and weigh yourself?
Also s ales weight is just a basis. I weigh every day on my scales because its a fixed constant. Theyay not be accurate, but because I use the same measuring device, that's all that matters. My TREND is going down, that's all that actually matters. The actual number on the scale doesn't mean a lot.

Try some other scales.

I generally wear a size 12 at 72kg, however do fit a lot of size 10 clothes as well (in NZ so sizing is about the same).
So yes, you can be UK 10 in some clothing.
Honestly I went shopping a couple of weeks ago and ranged from a 10 to a 14 depending on the shop. So sizes aren't a good way to judge your size.
