Age doesn't matter as much as height. Since muscle does weight more than fat. What's more important than your weight is your BMI (Body Mass Index) which is your ratio of fat to body weight. You would want to shoot for a BMI of 20-25.
Don't use those online calculators to try to determine your BMI. You'll have to go into a facility to get it calculated. Most likely they'll use a caliper to determine it, although those have been mostly discounted as being inaccurate, but should still give a decent ballpark.
If you have the means, find a facility that uses air displacement plethysmography (ADP) to calculate BMI. That is the most accurate way to determine your BMI.

it all depends on your height and build, there is no specific weight for any age. find out your bmi on google. it will tell you if you're overweight or not.

how much you weigh depends on how tall you are, the site provided will tell you what your body mass index is, and whether or not you weigh too much or too little.
