Where Can I Find An Ideal Body Composition Chart For 23 Y/o Female: Weight, Body Fat, Muscle/bone Mass, Bmr…

stomach circumference, and lastly how to determine body water in relation to weight?
My scale tells me all these, but I can’t do anything with them since I don’t know what the ideal numbers are to shoot for, and I’d like to make very specific goals to track my progress.
After numerous google searches, nothing reasonable is coming up..except female body fat average is 22-25% but no age was indicated.
Thanks tons!!!

    Waist circumference depends on height:

    5ft3: Up to 30.5-31 inches
    5ft6: Up to 32 inches
    5ft9: Up to 33-33.5 inches
    6ft: Up to 34.5 inches
    Measure midway between the bottom of the ribcage and the top of the hip bones. This is usually a few centimetres above the belly button.

    I’m not even sure that it’s possible considering that each person is not only unique in structure, but also height may make a difference.

    the only thing that i can think of is hydrostatic weighing, that would give you one of the most accurate bmi’s but you would have to see a doctor to find out how you compare, almost all of the bmi charts are way off b/c they dont’ consider body habbittus! you could just start logging and keep track of your loss or changes over time. sorry, i couldn’t help more!
