A 6'0" (183 cm) man falls into the WHO/CDC healthy zone between about 137–184 lbs (62–83 kg). Most well-built 6-foot men land in the upper half.
A trained 6-foot man carrying visible muscle typically sits at 175–195 lbs at a healthy body-fat percentage — BMI may flag this as "overweight" even though body composition is excellent.
