Tough to say: General rule of thumb, and this can be way off, depending on body type and muscle mass, etc. Women at 5 foot even 100 pounds. 5 pounds per inch thereafter. It's a very rough estimate. A better estimate is the bmi. Talk with your doc about a weight that's right for you.

BMI: Use a BMI calculator to know. SEE: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm. BMI Categories: Underweight = <18.5 * Normal weight = 18.5–24.9 * Overweight = 25–29.9 * Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater. By checking your BMI you can get an idea of whether you are in a healthy range.
