What is the healthy weight for a 5-foot 3-inch woman?

A healthy weight for a woman measuring 5 feet and 3 inches in height is between 107 and 135 pounds, according to Rush University Medical Center. Women of that height weighing between 141 and 163 pounds are overweight, while those weighing between 169 and 220 are obese.

The healthy weight for a woman is based on her body mass index, which is a ratio that compares a person's height and weight, according to the National Institutes of Health. At any height, a person with a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered to be at a healthy weight. The BMI measurement may be imprecise for those with unusually high or low levels of muscle mass.
