Detailed Answer:
Dear sir ,

Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX

Well there can be many formulas for calculation of ideal weight but the most common that we use is
Ideal Body Weight for Men = 50 kg + 2.3 kg for every inch over 5 feet in height.

The ideal thing is to calculate BMI = Weight in Kg / height in meter2 and for normal weight it should be from 18.5 to 25.

Take care.
