Of course! The “ideal” weight varies depending on several factors: height, age, sex, muscle mass, and body type. However, a general estimate can be given using BMI (Body Mass Index), which is a standard method.

1. BMI Calculation & Classification (Adults)

  • Formula: BMI = weight (kg) / [height (m)]²

  • Classifications:

    • Underweight: < 18.5

    • Normal range: 18.5 – 24.9

    • Overweight: 25 – 29.9

    • Obesity: ≥ 30

2. “Ideal” or Healthy Weight Range by Height

This range typically corresponds to a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9.

155 45 – 59 54
160 47 – 64 57
165 50 – 68 60
170 53 – 72 64
