Almost all male writers screw up even basic dimensions of women. It’s like they didn’t know that height and weight charts exist so you can come up with plausible measures.
(Also … the fact that numbers are being attached is a dead giveaway that this is a male writer.)
In one hobby I used to partake of, people had to write descriptions of characters. You could almost always spot the male writers. First, attaching actual numbers instead of making comparisons. Second, the ideal body type always came across as a broomstick with beachballs stapled to it.
Reminds me of a tale I heard of a DND campaign. The players kept one-upping each other on their character’s physical dimensions as characters died or were swapped out. And their weights didn’t match. The players didn’t want to estimate realistic weights, as that would make their characters seem fat. Eventually the whole party was composed of these extremely tall yet unrealistically light characters. So the DM responded by having NPCs start treating the whole party like monsters, treating them as if they physically had the proportions the character stats implied. The party kept finding that entire villages would run away from them in terror.

That is BRILLIANT!
And so much for getting clues to what’s happening from the locals! Or selling your loot!
If you stapled a beach ball to something it would deflate
So that’s what causes sagging!
