When figuring protein intake do you use ideal body weight or current weight?

The kind Physician replying to a previous post stated a guideline of no more than 1 to 1.5 gram's per kilogram. But which weight should I go by, present weight or "ideal body weight". The amount would have to be doubled at present weight. Thank you!
