How is the ideal weight of 122.1 kg for 237 cm calculated?

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. 237 cm ≈ 93.31 inches, 33.31 of them above the 60-inch mark: 45.5 + 2.3 × 33.31 ≈ 122.1 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 103.9 kg - 140.3 kg is the band 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25 applied to 237 cm, while the ideal weight 122.1 kg is a single point from the Devine formula and corresponds to a BMI of 21.74. The formula knows nothing about age, frame size or muscle, so its point need not sit in the middle of the range.
