What is the normal/healthy weight range for 167.5 cm male?

The normal/healthy weight range for 167.5 cm male is 51.9 kg - 70.1 kg.

How is the ideal weight of 63.7 kg for 167.5 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. 167.5 cm ≈ 65.94 inches, 5.94 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 5.94 ≈ 63.7 kg. Below 5 feet (152.4 cm) 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 51.9 kg - 70.1 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 167.5 cm, while the ideal weight 63.7 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 22.7. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
