According to Dr. David Flum of university of Washington, defining ideal body weight is a reach and even the BMI or body mass index isn’t the answer. BMI is a measure of weight to height and doesn’t figure whether that weight is, say more muscle than fat.

Another issue is that men tent to gain more muscle than women which is both genetic and societal.
