According to the Height/Weight charts, you are about the perfect weight for your height, with medium frame.  If you are small frame, you may need to drop a few pounds.  

A healthy diet and moderate exercise should be sufficient for that.

your BMI seems to be 22.6, so not in the overweight range. But I would highly recommend to do other tests to get a more accurate risk profile as it relates to diabetes and heart disease (waist circumference for belly fat, cholesterol, glucose, Apo-B, etc).
