15% is great. A lot of people lie about their BF%. There are a ton of people saying they are 10% or below. That kind of BF% is Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Around 15% is totally normal and healthy. A lot of people who go below 10% don't maintain that either. They dip below for a few months for a picture/show/summer then go back to the 12% range.

Here's a picture of 15%, I wouldn't consider this person obese in any way:
