Hi Diana,
Thanks for coming to HCM.
Weight should be in accordance with the height to maintain a Body mass index(BMI) of 18.5-24.9. The formula for calculation is weight in kilogram divided by square of height in meter.
In your case it is 22.5. so you are in normal range......congratulations...

Best wishes
