By the Devine formula (1974): it starts from 45.5 kg for a woman and adds 2.3 kg for every inch above 5 feet. 164 cm is 64.57 inches, 4.57 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 56 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 49.8 kg - 67.2 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 164 cm, while the ideal weight 56 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 20.82. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
