From a medical standpoint, ideal body weight is calculated by the following equations. It's what doctors and pharmacists use when calculating medication doses and kidney function.
Men
50kg + 2.3kg * inches over 5 feet in height
Women
45.5kg + 2.3kg * inches over 5 feet in height

That's 112 lbs at 5'5" which is 13 lbs below what my doctor said (125 lbs). That's like finding a unicorn these days.

5'5" would come out to 125 pounds.
45.5 + 2.3*5 = 57kg
57kg*2.2 = 125 pounds
