There was a formula in the back of Dr Herring's free Fast-5 book as ONE of the ways of choosing a goal weight. For a 5' woman of average frame 100lbs, then add 5 lbs for ever additional inch. Hence my 120 lbs. I got there over 3 years ago, I even undershot for a few months, but I bounced back a little.

I now have a mental maintenance weight which I define in terms of my behaviour not a particular number on the scale. It goes something like: If you stick to the WOE that enabled you to lose weight,and your waist does not expand, and it's a bit of effort and a bit of hunger sometimes, then you're at the right weight, but if you're mostly hungry and hangry, then what you are aiming for is unsustainable. Plus bearing in mind that if you vary how much you exercise you will increase or decrease your muscle mass.
