Your goal weight doesn't really do anything particular (it doesn't influence your calorie goal , you can just a put a provisional goal and reassess along the way. If you want to lose fat, choose a rate of loss. Generally, aiming for 0.5-1% of bodyweight per week is recommended - without knowing anything about you it's hard to give more specific advice.2

"It" (the goal set up) also asks you to select a rate of weight loss, weight gain or weight maintenance.
That's the part that takes away calories from the level it calculated from your stats to be your weight maintenance for a day with no exercise if you want to lose weight.
It's absolutely nothing to do with paying for Premium or not so save your money.1 -
To choose a goal weight you can Google "BMI" for a general range for your gender and height.
Like it was mentioned above, your goal weight doesn't influence the calories allotted.0 -
You don't have to select a goal weight. It doesn't do anything as far as the calculations go for your calorie target.0

You can just select an arbitrary goal weight and then start from where you are. In my opinion, BMI is just a guideline. I would find an optimal body fat you can sit at year round0
