Dear Sheetal, Thank you for the question

Ideal weight for height can be assessesed by BMI calculation and identifying oneself among its classifications. BMI is a simple index of weight-for-height. It can be considered as a 2nd level indicator of overall health.
WHO has given different BMI (Body mass index) classifications to categorise adults into different weight categories.
It can be calculated using a simple formula of BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m²)
Following is the WHO BMI Classification
18.5 to 24.9 - Normal
Less than 18.5 - Underweight
25 to 29 - Overweight
Above 30 - Obese

Hope we have answered your query.
Wishing you a great day ahead
