An appropriate weight is based on how tall you are. Keep in mind also that someone who is heavier may not be 'fat' because muscle weighs more than fat does so if they take care of their body and work out measurements may be misleading.

There are a few ways but initially, we look at Height, weight and waist measurement (around the naval) area. This is where most people accumulate the fat on their body. If you want me to let you know what your body fat percentage is and BMI email me your details and i can then tell you what your protein intake on a daily basis should be and what your weight should be for you. I can also tell you what your Resting metabolic rate is as well.
Best wishes

A better measure would be waist divided by mid thigh. Less leg muscle carrying more body weight makes the heart work harder. More leg muscle means less strain for the heart. The ideal ratio would be 1.5 to 1.6, with concern at 1.8 ,reassess diet and activity. 2.0 indicates obesity.

you can't, you must be tested to find your percent of body fat.
