Then, your BMI (body mass index, a crude yet useful measure of general fitness) is 22.8, midway between 18.5 and 24.9 which is the Normal healthy range for BMI.

Eat a good, hearty breakfast (preferrably including some fiber such as oatmeal).  Without a good breakfast of that character, many of us set ourselves up for improper eating practices for much of the day and evening.

Eating healthy is good, but only halfway there.  You also need to be relaxed and calm enough not to be using food for comfort (else, you'll tend to consume too much food).  At lunch and dinner, eat until you're not longer hungry (don't keep eating until you feel full as that's usually more than your body needs).

137 lbs may be a perfect weight (which also depends on height - are you tall?)
