The normal range: for your height would be about 90 pounds plus or minus 10%.

Yes, by BMI.: Granted, the BMI is a flawed governmental indicator that does not take body composition into account, but at your height and weight, your BMI of 27.4 would put you into the "overweight" category. You should make some efforts to lose weight, as being overweight does put you at risk for weight-related health concerns.
