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

They are two different models. The range 52.8 kg - 71.4 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 169 cm, while the ideal weight 60.5 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.19. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
