Go to this website or any site with a Body Mass Index Calculator:

According to your info your BMI is 22.8 which is considered healthy. Your BMI will tell you if you are overweight or not.

Race and age have little to do with being a certain weight.
But, you didn't say whether you were sedentary or workout every day, which could make a very big difference in the responses you get.
Check the following for various weight charts,
and then you can make up your own mind.

Well I would do a BMI. I won't post it here for privacy reasons (though I doubt you mind)
Just remember, mirrors have a slimming effect. You always are a little fatter than you look.
