Depends on frame size and body fat %. I have a small/medium frame size and to get a body fat % around 20% I should weigh about 130 pounds.0

this page has a chart on it. I looked at the 5'2" goal for large frame and it matches my goal reasonably.0 -
I like this page because it gives a multitude of options, so you can choose which one is most feasible and/or natural for you: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm0

It depends on what type of body frame you have. I'm 5'6" and have a medium frame. I find that I look my best when I'm about 140 lbs. I've been 120-125 lbs before and it made me look sickly. Currently, I weigh 150 lbs and feel a tad over weight.0
