How is the ideal weight of 51.4 kg for 154 cm calculated?

By the Devine formula (1974): it starts from 50 kg for a man and adds 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 154 cm is 60.63 inches, 0.63 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 51.4 kg. Below 5 feet the surcharge is zero and the base weight stands.

Why do the ideal weight and the healthy range give different answers?

They are two different models. The range 43.9 kg - 59.3 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 154 cm, while the ideal weight 51.4 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.69. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
