How do height and weight charts function?

My daughter is in her late teens and she wants to keep a check on her body weight. I need to know how much weight is required in proportion with one's height and by what degrees it should be increased as per age. Lately, she asked me for height and weight charts. I would really appreciate if someone can explain how does it function, and if there is anything like a best buy or best deal for such charts. Please suggest.
