That's what I suggested. The calculation for bf is to determine the weight you need to get to in order to reach your goal body fat percentage. It does not calculate your current bf%.

The bmi calculator up top is more for people who have just began working out or don't work out and would like to know if they are sitting at a healthy weight.
