That's a touch under the healthy range, depending on your age, it should be a little higher

My scales don't tell me that, but given that my BMI is still about 38, its probably still over 40%

Depends on your age and sex more than anything. My body fat is 18-19%. For a young man that is considered okay, but not great. For a man my age (48), it's considered much fitter than average. So there you go! It's a very subjective thing. What really matters is how healthy you are and how you feel.
