contents The well-tested empirical two quasiparticle rotor model calculations are used to characterize low-lying isomers in the odd-odd nucleus $^{162}$Lu. Physically admissible 2qp bandheads are obtained to construct the low-energy level structure of the nucleus, assign spin-parity (J$^π$), orbital configuration, and level energies (E$_x$), for the gs and the two reported isomers. The spin-parity and orbital configuration of the 1.5 min isomer are confirmed to be J$^π$= 4$^-$\{$π$5/2$^+$[402$\uparrow$] $\otimes$ $ν$3/2$^-$[521$\uparrow$]\}. Its level energy has been estimated to be E$_x$ $\thickapprox$ 62 keV. The 1.9 min isomer is characterized for the first time with J$^π$= 6$^+$\{$π$9/2$^-$[514$\uparrow$] $\otimes$ $ν$3/2$^-$[521$\uparrow$]\} and energy E$_x$ $\thickapprox$ 157 keV. Based on these assignments, individual $β$-decay branches of gs and the two isomers to the daughter levels in $^{162}$Yb are proposed. The study is extended to neighboruing isotopes $^{164,166,168}$Lu. A short-lived isomer, tentatively proposed in a previous study of $^{164}$Lu, is identified as J$^π$= 6$^+$\{$π$7/2$^+$[404$\downarrow$] $\otimes$ $ν$5/2$^+$[402$\uparrow$]\} with energy E$_x$ $\thickapprox$ 52 keV. The energy of the J$^π$=3$^+$ isomer in $^{168}$Lu, currently listed with large uncertainty, is deduced as E$_x$ $\thickapprox$ 100 keV significantly improving its value.

The well-tested empirical two quasiparticle rotor model calculations are used to characterize low-lying isomers in the odd-odd nucleus $^{162}$Lu.

The spin-parity and orbital configuration of the 1.5 min isomer are confirmed to be J$^π$= 4$^-$\{$π$5/2$^+$[402$\uparrow$] $\otimes$ $ν$3/2$^-$[521$\uparrow$]\}.
