Height/weight ratio is utterly useless for a genuine idea of health.
Rather find out your body fat percentage. BMI says every heavyweight boxer or wrestler is morbidly obese even if they're 2% body fat and completely ripped.
Similarly, a light skeletal system could give a false idea if being a "healthy" weight when the person is obviously overweight.
A good sports or health store would have the calipers to let you measure body fat, or scales with sensors can identify if you're carrying fat or water.

It depends but the shorter you are, the less you should weigh. I'm 5'8" and weight between 120 and 150, which is basically normal. 5'5" should probably then be anywhere between 110-120, but, that's not including muscle; That is only including body weight.
I'm that height and when I plugged the numbers into that formula I got 58.82 kg. Converted to lbs it rounds out to approx. 130 lbs. Damn I'm above that weight. But I'm still slim
The "ideal" weight. Whose ideal are we discussing here?

If we want the BMI to be 18-25 range then:
BMI = Weight / (height × height)
Weight = BMI × (height × height)
5'5" is around 1.65m
Weight = 18 × 1.65 × 1.65
Weight = 49kg / 108lbs
Weight = 25 × 1.65 × 1.65
Weight ~ 68kg / 150lbs
If we want to take the median between these two then: 150 108 / 2 = 129lbs (BMI ~ 22.65)
And that would be the ideal weight130 pounds. That's purely my opinion on the matter.
No idea on a scientific number. However, what makes you feel good about your body? To me visual factors cone into play, like breast and hip sizing. Wha’s important is that you are healthy.
In general, if we consider the weight of a girl, it would be between 45-55-60.
According to this formula about 57.5kg. Which is about 115lbs; based on my imprecise conversion of a kg ~= 2lbs
