Im 64 years old, 155 lbs and 5,4 . I can pump out an average of 220-230 wats for an hour, my top power is about 600 wats for a few seconds (10-15) seconds. I have always been a "health buff". I consider myself a bit above average, but not quiet professional. I have been non-professional on a bicycle since i was 12., so there s that. everyone will be a bit different, and also how you use your gears, and what type of crankset, and gears you use, that will allow you to pump out more or less wats. My personal best is with a 27x1.25 inch tire, a 60 tooth crank and an 18- 24 tooth gear. Depending on your leg health, you might be able to push harder or faster, taking advantage of your particular "gifts" you will be able to play with combinations to pump out more wats.
I hope this helps
