5'8" and 162 doesn't sound that bad and your going in the right direction.
I do strength training three times a week on a home machine. I'm actually 5'10.5" - so I really thought 162 was pretty good. But the iDXA doesn't make things up ... I don't feel any lack of muscle, sure it might be nice to have some more, but I can knock off a 100 miles and my arms don't get tired and I can sprint pretty good when I feel like it. Anyway, I'll keep on the losing weight plan and get another iDXA once I lose another 10 lbs. If the lean mass is still there, I won't worry about the weight loss.
