What is the healthiest weight for a 63 year old female 5'4", currently weighing 156 lbs. i am trying to lose weight, however, due to 2 back surgeries, i have shrunk 3 inches in the past 5 years. my bones are strong, no osteoporosos?

Less than 145 pounds will give you a BMI of less than 25. BMI of 18.5 - 24.9 is considered healthy and I take your original height of 5.4' for calculating this BMI.
