Ideal Weight for a 5-Foot-4 Woman
For a 5 ft 4 in (163 cm) woman, the four clinical formulas span about 54–59 kg (120–129 lb), averaging 55.9 kg. Sex is pre-set to female — add your age and frame for your own figure.
Find Your Ideal Weight
Required: the ideal-weight formulas use biological sex (male or female) as a variable, so the estimate can’t be calculated without it.
Age adjusts the healthy BMI reference range for adults 65+ (senior guidelines use BMI 23–28).

Valid range: 152–214 cm (approx. 5 ft – 7 ft)
The ±10% frame adjustment is applied to all four formulas. Clinical medication dosing uses the unadjusted medium-frame value.
Women (>165 cm): Small <15.9 cm · Medium 15.9–16.5 cm · Large >16.5 cm
Valid range: 10–30 cm

Quick Answer
Ideal Weight for a 5-Foot-4 Woman
For a 5 ft 4 in (163 cm) woman at a medium frame, the four clinical formulas span roughly 54.4–58.5 kg (120–129 lb), averaging about 55.9 kg (123 lb). The gender is pre-set to female above — add your age and, optionally, your frame size for a figure tuned to you.
The Four Formulas at 5 Foot 4
Five foot four is 64 inches — four above the 5-foot base every formula starts from. With only four inches of increment applied, the four estimates cluster fairly closely: Hamwi and Devine sit near the bottom at 54.4 and 54.7 kg, Robinson at 55.8 kg, and Miller highest at 58.5 kg. The average is 55.9 kg (123 lb). Notice the ordering is the reverse of what happens at tall heights, where Miller is lowest and Hamwi highest — the formulas cross over because they climb from the base at different rates. All four are arithmetic estimates from height and sex, not judgements about a healthy weight for any individual.
Using the Number Sensibly
For shorter statures, height-only formulas can read a little low, so lean on the healthy BMI range shown in the calculator as the wider, more reliable target. Once you have a figure to aim for, the Goal Weight Calculator turns it into a realistic timeline, and the TDEE Calculator shows the daily calories that maintain or move your weight. For a different height, the Ideal Weight Calculator covers any stature from 5 ft up.
Figures use the Devine, Robinson, Miller and Hamwi ideal-body-weight equations (Pai & Paloucek, 2000). They are population averages, not medical advice, and do not account for muscle mass or individual health conditions.
