No more: You are in a good weight for your height. You don't want to drop more weight if you are in the ideal range. Being too skiny is not a good thing either for you, your body, your health, your mental health.

Ideally aim for BMI : Of 25 google 'calculate bmi' and you'll be able to find the weight to aim for.
