39 is too old for regular service unless you are going in as a professionally qualified role. However you could still join the reserves. In regards to BMI maximum score is 32 so you are just slightly over but we always suggest being under 30 to guarantee a pass. There is also a list of medications and medical conditions that ban you from joining however for these the doctor would look at what you are on how long for dosage and any continuous problems which may all affect your medical and they will make the final decision.
