First source I found online is 144' - 188' for 6'1" male.

You're average.

The difference between 160# and 173# is insignificant.

You are far from overweight.

173 is a bit scrawny for a man who is 6-1. I'd say you need to put on about 60-70 pounds and should be consulting the official Nutrition Pyramid.

that is a thin build because he can't gain weight, 60 pounds of muscle is not easy to do even if you gulp down weight gain

I am 6 and 175, only gained 15 pounds since I was 18, my metabolism runs hot

BMI is around 23ish

I'm 5'11" and weigh 176. I'm happy with that. You're on the slim side, but what your percentage of muscle ve fat is more important

It depends on your build. I'm only 5'10" ish but I weigh in at 200 because I work out a lot.

To me this is proof that BMI charts aren't accurate for tall or short people. What I mean is: your BMI at your weight and height seems higher than it should be. I'm short, so my BMI often reads too low (IMO) and has me underweight when I'm not.

Try this one.

Absolutely true. My bone structure is like a bird's. So although I'm technically underweight I don't look sickly. On the reverse there are women with just bigger, heavier bones and muscles. They look about my same size but maybe weigh much more.
