Depending, BMI isn't always a totally accurate representation of how healthy your weight is. If you do a calculation of body fat percentage, it's much more accurate.
For example, I'm around 24% body fat and about 7-8lbs overweight. But my body fat percentage is healthy (I'm a woman; we have more body fat), as muscle weighs more than fat does. Body frame and fat distribution is also a factor. If you have a larger frame, something considered overweight for your height and age by BMI could be considered healthy.
Personally, I wouldn't be worried unless it has an adverse affect on your health.
Believe me, I know about this stuff. I had a brief stint with eating disorders over the summer.
