What should my target weight be?

It's different for everyone. Not everyone carries weight the same I know guys who are the same height as me and weigh the same and look like shit. I'm 6'2 and it says my ideal weight is like 170. This is wrong. I'm 200 pounds now and still look thin as shit. 160 pounds with muscle will look totally different than a 160 pound guy who's all fat. Don't worry about getting weight down to a perfect pound number. Cardio and lifting will have your body looking good.

You should be about 164 lbs.

I would get down to 150 then start putting on muscle. Depends on what your current body fat is.

Man, I'm 5'8" and 25 years old and am currently 169 lbs at 25% body fat. I used to be way weaker at 185-190lbs when I was your age so 195 seems way too big for 16 unless you have been hitting the free weights hard with some steroids. Stop eating so much. Eat allot of eggs, chicken, fish, vegetables. Drink 1+ gal of water a day. Do elliptical 3 times a week (cause running while fat hurts). Do strong lifts 5x5 and switch to 5/3/1 BBB workout after 6 months. Also do intermittent fasting (I'm currently doing Alternate Day Fasting because I hate counting calories). Do this for two years. Disrobe and witness your Adonis body and your dick getting sucked by three Swedish DOTA super models.

Oh and around 165 lb at 13% bf would be really good point for you.

Your 'ideal weight' is going to be different based on what body fat (BF) percentage you want to achieve. If you're currently at too high of a BF %, I suggest that you cut by eating less (depending on how fast you want to/can cut) than your TDEE and by doing a mix of weight training (lifting) and either cardio, HIIT, circuit training or a mix of those. Godspeed

Forget weight. Work on your muscles and go for 10% body fat.

You can get a set of fat calipers for ~$7 to measure yourself.
