My son, 24, is 177 cms tall and his current weight is 70 kgs. he has dropped from 88 to 70 in 12 months. he doesn't have any health condition, the weight loss was intentional. is this an okay weight for his height or should he consider losing more?

Your son's BMI which is a calculation based on height and weight and has validated as a metric of appropriate body status is 22.3 which is fine for his age and size. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm
