Ideal weight for 125 cm
Ideal Weight Calculator - Metric System
This calculator computes appropriately your ideal or healthy weight based on BMI information[1]. It also shows results using other (outdated) methods. This calculator applies to adults, men or women. For children and teens (ages 2–19), weight status is assessed using BMI-for-age percentiles, not the adult ranges shown here.
Healthy weight for 125 cm
For adults who are 125 cm tall, a healthy weight (BMI 18.5–24.9) is roughly 28.9–38.9 kg (64–86 lb)[1]. The calculator above also estimates a single ideal figure using the Devine and Lorentz formulas. Note that average weight — what people of this height typically weigh — is often higher than the ideal range shown here.

Important note on Ideal body weight web tools
This calculator does not provide medical advice. BMI is just one of many indicators of body fatness. So, once this tool is based on BMI calculations, it has the same BMI limitations. Do not use this tool for computing ideal weight for children. Any questions about weight loss or changes to your diet should be discussed with your nutritionist or medical adviser for a more personalized estimation. Don't try to lose weight fast by yourself. If you think you are underweight, overweight, or obese, you should try our BMI Calculator. There, you will get more information about how should you weigh for your height.
