Ideal weight for 185cm tall (6ft) 18 year old male?

I am trying to gain weight and currently weigh 158 pounds having gained 1 pound in the past week and a half. I am not interested in getting big just gaining a few more pounds and was wondering what most people would see as ideal.

Probably around 75-80kg
I think the term ideal weight is a bit vague as it'll depend heavily on your composition. 175 pounds and 25% body fat is a lot different to 175 pounds and 10% body fat.

My advise would be whatever feels comfortable for you.
Depends a lot on frame size as well, not just height. In short, whatever weight makes you happy with what you see in the mirror (which will obviously factor in body comp).
180 pounds ; 10% body fat.

I'm 20, 6'3 and I looked and felt great at around 90kgs, so I'm guessing around 78-83kgs if you have a bit of muscle.
I have decided to carry on gaining weight (in a good way), cheers guys!
75-79kg
