    There's a wide range of "good weights" for people your height. Partly depending on your genetic build, partly depending on your level of musculature, partly depending on your personal preferences.
    Even if you restrict yourself to the BMI healthy weight range for your height that's roughly a 21kg range.
    And as a young male with a physical job there's a decent chance that being slightly into the overweight BMI category would still be a "good weight" for you.

    How much did you weigh the last time you were happy with your physique?

    Then it sounds like you will just have to reassess as you go.

    You know the direction and also know you need to step up your training. A goal weight can be nice to have in mind but TBH many people get to goal weight and discover it didn't match their expectations anyway (hands up my hand!).

    81kg would get you in the top end of the BMI healthy range if you want a reasonable intermediate goal to trigger a re-evaluation.
