Just overweight. Good Life style you follow.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Mam.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

At age of 83 years you are exercising 5 days a week and eating healthy. I really appreciate this.

Since you have Arthritis (Might be Knee osteoarthritis) and Osteoporosis, in this condition we advise not to do weight bearing exercises and aerobics. Since the bones are weak.

You are overweight, as far as your BMI is concerned.

You should indulge in brisk walking, if possible jogging, and stretching exercises.
Try to consume food with less calories.
Also, for a better health, you should get a routine checkup done :
1. Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar
2. LFT,KFT
3. Hemogram
4. Lipid Profile
5. ECG.

You may attach your reports here for a detailed analysis.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any query you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
