Great way to figure out realistic "ideal" weight

I feel like an idiot for not realising this sooner...

Body fat percentage. Let's think about this. If, in my case, I weigh 190lbs, and have 32% body fat, then I have 60.8 pounds of fat, and the rest of me is all good. Therefore I have 129.2 pounds of muscle, bone, etc. So even though I'm only 5'6, if my goal were to lose 60lbs, I'd either be incredibly unhealthy, or will have also lost muscle mass- neither of which I'm interested in.

If however, I lose 27lbs of fat, then my weight becomes 163, the remaining 34 pounds of fat provide me with a body fat percentage of 20 (roughly) which is a number I'm comfy with as a woman. So no matter what anyone else's weight is for their height, size, etc., I know my goal is realistic of my actual body.

I know it's easy to assume all weight loss is fat, and that may very well not be the case in one's weight loss journey, but could you imagine the heartache I would cause myself if I wanted desperately to be 120lbs?
