Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

To convert to kg, you need to divide the 63 by 10. The 115 cm is ok as it, or you can convert it to meters by dividing by 100. More information is in the Methodological Reports MR16 (https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/MR16/MR16.pdf) and MR6 (https://www.dhsprogram.com/pubs/pdf/MR6/MR6.pdf).
