How is the ideal weight of 70.5 kg for 175 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. 175 cm is 68.9 inches, 8.9 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 70.5 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 56.7 kg - 76.6 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 175 cm, while the ideal weight 70.5 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 23.01. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
