Hye. Thank you for your query. For your height of 5'6" your ideal weight should be 65 kgs. Since you are weighing 68 kgs, you are overweight by 3 kgs. You can also get your body composition analysis done to check if your fat percentage is in range. At times your weight on scale could be normal but your fat percentage is way high.
