My last med visit report said I had a BMI of 26.7 and listed as overweight (6'2", 205 lbs). They are freaking nuts. I would have to lose 15 pounds to get to a BMI of 24. I'd be a skeleton as well.

I'm 6'2, 185. I was like you at 205 for a good while in 20's and 30's, then at 40 had my ACL replaced and began cycling and running more and lost weight. What I discovered is at 185 I could run/bike faster and further than I had ever imagined. And I just felt better. Yeah, I'm thin. But I'm in shape. These days I lift more than bike/run, but just don't eat much (or stupidly).

You should try it, forget about how you look (insecurities).
