Is obesity only decided from your BMI?

I’m a 15 year old guy, and I recently got a full physical. I measured 6 feet tall and 207 pounds, and with a body fat percentage of 14.2%. From a BMI calculator I have a BMI of 28.1. According to different scales, this is either overweight or obese. But, the doctor said that my body fat percentage was in a healthy range, so does that mean that I am obese or not?
