What Is the Ideal Weight for a 58-Year-Old Man?

For a 58-year-old man of average height (175.3 cm), the healthy weight range is 61–81 kg (135–180 lbs), based on an age-adjusted BMI of 20.0–26.5. The midpoint — approximately 71 kg (158 lbs) — is a practical target for most people.

Age 58 note: After 50, slightly higher BMI (23–27) may be protective, particularly for bone density and recovery from illness. Muscle mass matters more than scale weight at this stage.

How Ideal Weight Changes With Age

The standard BMI range (18.5–24.9) applies through your late forties. For adults 50 and older, research supports a slightly wider healthy range (20–26.5 BMI), and for those 65+, a range of 21–27 is associated with the best health outcomes — accounting for protective effects of modest extra weight against osteoporosis and illness recovery.

How to Reach Your Ideal Weight at Age 58

A sustainable calorie deficit of 300–500 kcal/day produces 0.3–0.5 kg of fat loss per week without excessive muscle loss. Pair this with resistance training 2–3 times per week and protein intake of at least 71–89 g/day.
