What method of testing told you 25%? you should get some calipers or find a gym where they can measure you.

bodybuilding.com has calipers for like ten bucks or you can order enough supps to get them for free but i have them and they are usually right on within 1 or 2 percent

The weight machines in where u put ur rist in and it measures ur heart abd height and weight bud but i still think its wrong i hardly drink and have been lifting since i was 15 so i do care highly about my body!?

A lot of gyms have those digital bf calculators now. I don't know how accurate they are though. Calipers are good if you know how to use them correctly. A dietician or legit personal trainer would be your best bet.
