I'm 15lbs lighter than you and about the same weight and ride 150-153 no problem.
Go shorter if you want, it's all preference. You start with the baseline, then adjust.

If you like the shorter board, go shorter. Plenty of heavier riders on these forums that ride really small boards, esp. for park.

Another concern would be your boot size which is more suited for narrower, therefore shorter boards.
