What should be my "in shape" weight?

Maybe you should consider turning pro.

If I'd taken up this sport at 15 instead of 35, maybe. At 37, I'm way too old to do this as anything more than a hobby. I want to fight in the Master Division at Golden Gloves or maybe Ringside before I'm 40.

Stop ****ing worryin about weight. Train as hard as possible, eat right and your body will take care of itself. Don't do any of this starving bull****. Jut get in there and fight your heart out, regarldess of weight.

Amateur fights aren't necessarily any easier than professional because in the pros most fights are custom made. If you can get knockouts in one venue, you can get them in the other.
