How can I find out the ideal weight for my height and age?
Go see your doctor before you get concerned, they can clearly evaluate your true BMI.Firstly, you're working out regularly so you can toss this chart in the trash:Secondly, so many factors go into healthy body composition that any simple "rule of thumb" (or maybe a chart per se) is over generalized. I am just a touch over 5'10" and weigh 200 lbs. I don't look like a football player, nor a marathon runner, but I'm certainly not borderline obese as this chart would have me believe. I play sports and have worked out my entire life. My strength to weight ratio is ideal but you would never guess me at 200 lbs. (btw..I win a lot of stuffed animals at the County Fair when they guess my weight). Once upon a time I was concerned about my BMI and its possible effects on my health. My doctor told me that bone density, muscle concentration and cell mass differ with all of us. I guess it was his way of telling me that I was dense! (rim shot). He then told me to get out of his office and enjoy my stuffed animal collection. I'm sure your doctor will tell you much of the same.
My height is 5.4'' and my weight is 60. is it overweight?
HiThanks for asking this question.I am a fitness coach & I have been asked this kind of questions on daily basis.Now what are the parameters to understand whether you are overweight or not ?BMI - BODY MASS INDEX.(BMI between 18.5 to 25 is normal weight. BMI above 25 is considered as overweight.)BMI = kg/m2Kg is a person's weight in kilograms and m2 is the height in meters squared.In your case:Weight in kg is 60Height in metres is 1.64 mCalculate:BMI = 60 ÷ (1.64 × 1.64)BMI = 60 ÷ 2.69So your BMI is 22.3, which falls within the normal range of 18.5 to 25.GOOD, YOU are in normal BMI range means you are not OVERWIGHT.2. BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS (BCA)BCA = Lean body mass (muscle mass, bone weight & other) + FatFitness FAT % for men & women -Women - 21-24% Men - 14-17%Acceptable FAT % for men & women -Women - 25-31% Men - 18-25%Now why this is imp, Even though you are 60 kgs but consider your fat % is 30 that means 60 x 30/100 = 18 kgs of fat in your body.NOT good. You need to work on reducing fat % & gaining muscle mass.My analysis is going purely by BMI parameter doesnt works.You should definitely workout in either case to be fit & always check BCA & BMI & then derive conclusions :)ThanksFitness WiredPooja Malani (@fitness_wired) • Instagram photos and videos

For goodness sake, you're tiny! why would you even consider dieting??? You need to gain, not lose!!!!! You have a bmi of 12.5, and to be healthy you need to have a bmi between 18.5 and 24.9.
