Dr. Hamwi's method is a good guideline to aim for.
The Hamwi method is used to calculate the ideal body weight of the general adult. For men, the Hamwi method ideal body weight is 106 pounds (48 kg) plus 6 pounds (2.7 kg) for every inch (2.54 cm) over 5 feet (1.5 m). For women, it is 100 pounds (45 kg) plus 5 pounds (2.3 kg) for every inch over 5 feet.
Height is not enough, we have three dimensions.
Yes, Dr. Hamwi stated you could +/- 10% for frame size.
