NSV; wait a minute, what?

It's been a busy two months at school and I thought I'd stopped achieving anything with the fitness-and-weight-loss program (mostly because I stopped paying attention to it). But this morning the gym assessment says I'm down to 25% bodyfat, and the trainer tells me that I'm barely 1% point away from what is considered 'healthy'. Since I started in June at 42%, that's really exciting news!
But wait a minute, I'm 77kg and the BMI charts say I should be 65kg at most. How can I have a healthy bodyfat percentage AND be 12kg overweight?
What gives? And what do I aim for now?
