I weigh 255lbs right now and wear 34 pants but I'm 6'2. Size 15 shoe though. My feet are 15lbs, haha.
It's hard to tell but 31% sounds very high for your measurements, probably wrong....

Did you accidentally click "female" for your gender? I just looked that up and it only asks about hips for females. Gave me a high number until I clicked "male" and now it sounds pretty accurate.

Looking at your pics, you're pretty soft.. I would say mid 20's anyway maybe higher.. You're definitely not 13%. You would have some abs visible and some veins...

With your build it's going to be extremely difficult to determine bodyfat percentage. I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much.

Body fat is tough to tell and every calculator, bio-impedance device, caliper will give a different result. I did the calipers and supposedly paid for someone who knows how to use them. I carry all my fat in my chest and stomach. I was super low body fat everywhere but those 2 places. When they add the numbers up I came in quite low with a soft gut. Now if I was to do it again the results would be different as they may not punch at the same spots..

Anyways long story short, I believe Dexa is the most accurate way to measure BF

You cant phisycaly grab fat on me unless im sitting or maybe the tip of my tits on a bad day, but I do have that Beer belly ( hard belly) going on XD

what about my build?

You have a very unathletic build, you're stomach goes out twice as far as your chest. What I am guessing he is saying is worry about getting in shape first, then worry about bf when you are there.

You don't have significant lean mass... Estimating via photograph is difficult, if not impossible, when there isn't a decent amount of lean mass.

Same goes on the other end of the spectrum.
