There is no one number that tells you that.
you can be not fit and chubby and weight less than somebody who looks more slender and has a lot of muscle.
what matters is body fat percentage which should be not more than 25% for women (to find it out you have to ask somebody at the gym or dietitian)

I am 5 feet and 5 1/2 inches and at 163 pounds I wear a size 7 or 8 depending on the brand. People always assume that I weigh around 120-125 but I have a very heavy frame. I also weight train 3 days a week for 45 minutes and walk at least 3 days a week for 45 minutes so I do have a lot of muscle.
I use my clothes to stay comfortable and when they start to feel uncomfortable I use the scale to see where I am.
If I weighed 125 like the charts suggest I would look sick, I did that once and my own grandfather told me he didn't want to see me until I gained at least 5 pounds.
Every body is different.

Although everyone is different, a good guide to follow to determine your healthy weight is 100 pounds for your first sixty inches of height and 5 pounds for each additional inch. Using this formula, your ideal weight is 125 pounds.
Of course, there are also charts to give you a range. Based on the chart found in The Calorie King, at 5' 5" you should weigh no less than 113 pounds and no more than 154.

Go by your body fat levels rather than your weight. If you are a young female and your body fat is under 30%, this is good healthwise.
