Your goal weight will change depending on your body type. If I were you I'd go get a body fat percentage measurement taken. Then decide what you'd like it to be, and do the math to determine your ultimate goal weight. As an example:
You currently weigh 175 lbs, and your body fat percentage is 20%. Your goal is to hit 14% (below 15% is healthy).
Fat = 0.2 x 175 = 35 lbs. fat
Lean tissue = 175 - 35 = 140lbs
Fat at goal weight = 14%
Lean tissue at goal weight = 86%
goal weight = lean tissue / % lean tissue = 140 / 0.86
Goal weight = 163 lbs.
The trick now is to lose the fat without losing muscle (lean mass). Lots of cardio coupled with a well balanced diet will let you lose the fat while keeping the muscle. Talk to your fitness trainers for a personally tailored program, and good luck!

I agree BMI is a useless guide.
It takes no account of individual build as it treats muscle and fat the same.
Best guide is % body fat.(you can buy scales which measure wt/body fat)
Easiest way is waist measurement at umbilicus waist less than 37 inches in mature male-in gol target range

In the mood for a new hot meal? Make a huge pot of veggie bean soups, divide into two-cup containers, and store within the freezer. Before bed, place a container from the fridge, then grab it before heading out the door in the morning.

It’s an age old trick but vertical stripes really do stretch you out. The contrast of colour straight along splits your body in 50 %.

Eat in front of a person rather than a screen. It cuts down on mindless eating and allows you to more accountable for each chunk.

132lb - 145 lb. Depends also on age, how active you are, etc.
Some athletes would be considered overweight if you just considered normal or average weight because a higher proportion of their mass is muscle.
