136 - 184 lbs.: Average body weight, depends on your frame. A better measurement of "healthy" weight would be based on your body mass index (BMI) as ~25% of adults are overweight (BMI>25) or obese (BMI >30). Healthy BMI is 20 - 25, but varies from person to person, so don't get stuck on this number. 184 lbs. is "overweight" for a 6'. Use good habits

Depends: According to an ideal weight table a male 5 feet 9 inches can weigh from 136 to 169. A 6 foot male can weigh 148 to 184. As you see there is a lot of variability. Note these weights do not take into account bone mass and muscle. I would go to a Doctor who has a device to measure fat percentage. Males with a body fat percentage of 12 to 20 percent are generally healthy. I hope this helps.
