BMI in ICD-10-CM

Question: I was recently coding a scenario where the patient was a 20 year old obese patient and received an error with the BMI code I selected. The error indicated the code I reported was not correct for the patient age. I used the adult codes. Why would this be wrong? Is it an error in our EMR programming?
