    There's body fat calculator online. I do think you have to measure your waist, hips and thighs in order to work properly.

    A dexa scan is the only reliable way

    Yup a Dexa scan or Bod Pod would be your most accurate however if that's not an option then a skin caliper test taken at several pre-determined point on the body will give you a decent idea of where you're at. I'd suggest taking it on more than 3 points of the body for better accuracy.

    Or hydrotank. There are mobile tanks that make rounds of different gyms in some areas. Some also offer a dexa scan
