Why is my table missing a line between columns?

Question

Why is there a line missing between Healthy and total column?

\begin{table}[ht]

\begin{center}

\begin{tabular}{|c|cc|c|}

\hline

   &\multicolumn{2}{c}{BMI} \\ 

\multirow{-2.5}{*}{\makecell{Activity level}}& {Unhealthy} & {Healthy} &
\multirow{-2.5}{*}{\makecell{Total}} \\

\hline

Inactive  & 25 & 21 & 46\\ 

Active & 9 &  45 & 54\\ 

\hline

Total &34 & 56 & \textbf{100}\\

\hline

\end{tabular} 

\caption{\label{tab:table-name}Data on activity level, resting heart rate 
and BMI}

\label{conting2}

\end{center}

\end{table}

@leandriis I have just copied and pasted it from latex and took a screenshot of the pdf — Ng123, Mar 26 '20 at 20:59
@DavidCarlisle sorry, I mean the column between healthy and total - I have edited the question — Ng123, Mar 26 '20 at 21:00
@Ng123: The table in your code has 4 columns, the screenshot shows 5. So it does not match? — leandriis, Mar 26 '20 at 21:01
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline &\multicolumn{2}{c|}{BMI} &\\ should add the missing lines. — leandriis, Mar 26 '20 at 21:02
@Ng123: The screenshot you show includes a column named "resting heart rate". This whole column is not present in the code you show. — leandriis, Mar 26 '20 at 21:05
the entries 16 and 8 are in your output but not the code, it is a different table. — David Carlisle, Mar 26 '20 at 21:07
you undid my code markup, select the code and use the {}button to mark it as a code block. and the code still does not match the output — David Carlisle, Mar 26 '20 at 21:08

Although the output doesn't match the picture, you could replace the header part by something like this, which gave a table with all lines for me:

 Activity level  &\multicolumn{2}{c|}{BMI} & Total\\ 
                 & {Unhealthy} & {Healthy} &      \\

edit: adjusted according to leandriis

This will give you a doubled line between "BMI" and "Total". The \multicolumn{1}{|c|} commands around "Activity level" and "Total" are redundant. – leandriis Mar 26 '20 at 21:17
Thats right, sorry and thanks – Seb Mar 26 '20 at 21:24
