"healthy" is somewhat broad.
I'd say anywhere from 115lbs to 165lbs is probably healthy.
Goal is likely around 135, 140.

IF UR UNDER WEIGHT
you dont want to eat unhealthy foods lyk mcdonalds or burger king just to get fat.... eat right ... lyk you can eat white bread, whole milk, rice...ect... lyk instead of getting the diet drinks or milk make sure you get the regular... they also have smothie king... if u have a smoothie king near u , u should try ordering the hulk... the hulk is a healthy smoothie for your body that contains a lot of yeast ..... yeast is good for your body but very fattining...... DO NOT TAKE PILLS..... pills will get you a little fat BUT it leads to CANCER.....pills are very unheathy for you... just make sure u eat right and have about 3 meals and snacks in between
THIS IS WAT I GOT FROM MY RESEARCH!!!!!
Weight gain should always be in the form of muscle, not fat. If you think you’re too thin and want to gain weight, don’t just stuff yourself with food, especially high fat foods. To build muscle, start a weight-bearing exercise program and make healthy food choices. Be sure to get a medical checkup before you start any exercise program.Stay away from bad fat! Even though weight gain is your goal, you don't want to be gaining fat and eating junk. Get rid of the chips and candy. No more fast food, nothing fried. Stick to high protein, low (saturated) fat foods like tuna fish (and other seafood), chicken breast, turkey, lean meats, rice, pasta, fruits and vegetables, nuts, flax seed oil, etc.WATER! Drink water!but it's that water that will give you the energy you need to gain that weight! Sleep! YES! Sleep! The easiest, yet most over looked step. Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. You're gonna need it!
SORRY IF ITS A LITTLE MORE INFO THAN U NEEDED LOL

A BMI less than 18.5 is considered underweight according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Look up the BMI.

Just keep in mind the weight charts are largely geared toward white people, who have different bone size and density, plus less muscle, than say African people.
African and Latina people often look gaunt at the so-called normal weights listed.

Be a kid once again! When eating out, order a child’s sandwich, pizza or hamburger. Then you can have the treats you're keen on, while reducing your portions and lowering your calorie intake.

the final public of the ladies in the U. S. are a length 12-14. Thats the typical length a woman in the U. S.. i think it relies upon on the way you carry your weight. Mine is dispensed and in the suggestions-blowing places and Im 5'6 weigh one hundred eighty and am a length 12-14. I certainly have greater muscle tone.

Depending on your age, I would think if you are in your 20's or 30's about 120. Any less and you will look anorexic.

Swap a bowl of pasta to get a bowl of vegetables. You can spend less to 200 calories by slicing the starch and adding veggies.

Around 130 or so but it also depends on your lean body mass. Muscle weighs more than fat but takes a lot less space than fat does.
