It varies...: It depends on your "frame" size, but height and weight charts are all over the internet. These give recommendations, but differ for each person based in age and level of activity as well. http://www.healthchecksystems.com/heightweightchart.htm.

Check your 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

115-150 pounds: Your weight should be between 115-150 pounds. Aim to keep it around 130 pounds. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex. Wish you good health!
