How is the ideal weight of 63.9 kg for 5'8" calculated?
By the Devine formula (1974): 45.5 kg for a woman plus 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 5'8" is 68 inches, 8 of them above 60, so 45.5 + 2.3 × 8 = 63.9 kg (140.9 lbs). Below 5 feet (60 inches) this calculator sets the surcharge to zero and keeps the base weight.
Why do the ideal weight and the healthy range give different answers?
They are two different models. The range 55.2 kg - 74.5 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 5'8", while the ideal weight 63.9 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.42. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
