For everyone asking if x amount of weight is good for y bodyweight/age/height/years in the gym:
Everyone progresses at different rates. The weight you move does not matter as long you progress in the long term. You should only be worrying about your own progress, not what others are lifting.
You should note that your strength is largely determined by the following factors:
- length of joints - shorter joints are more advantageous for lifting weight
- genetics - some people are just able to put on muscle easier than others
- bodyweight and bodyfat percentage - it is generally easier to get stronger if you weigh more, though you aren't able to lift as much in proportion to your bodyweight as you get heavier
