How is the ideal weight of 65 kg for 169 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. 169 cm ≈ 66.54 inches, 6.54 of them above the 60-inch mark: 50 + 2.3 × 6.54 ≈ 65 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 52.9 kg - 71.3 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 169 cm, while the ideal weight 65 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 22.76. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
