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. 186 cm is 73.23 inches, 13.23 of them above the 60-inch mark, which gives 75.9 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 64 kg - 86.5 kg is the BMI band 18.5-24.9 applied to 186 cm, while the ideal weight 75.9 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.95. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
