Actually, the FCI standard does include minimum and maximum weight. The American standard does not.

But yes, based on overall structure dogs who are within height standard can be a bit over standard in weight and that is a good healthy weight for the dog. But we're only talking a few pounds. Any dog that is 100+ but not over standard in height is most certainly overweight.
