i would strongly recommend that you get a smaller board, especially if you are a beginner. i am an intermediate-advanced rider who is 140lbs and i ride a 154. if you are a beginner, you should look for a smaller, softer board.
get a 151 or 149, it will last you a long time. 155 will be difficult for you to manage at your size. again sizes are all preference, a 155 would be ok for just cruising and carving bout it would be hard to do anything else
U shouldnt worry about growing into it. Even if u gain a lot of height n weight u should still be able to ride a 151. Like im 5'11'' 165lb and i ride a 152 effectively. But lets say worst case u grow too big, by that time u would probably be able to get a new board anyway
You got shipped a 157 then. I just measured mine. And with the bindings I got 156ish. Take some more measurements of your board and compare to the website.
OP, like everyone else has said. Get the proper size board. Growing into it is usually moms idea of saving money.
I ride a 148 and im 130 lbs. Definately get something smaller if you want to be able to control your board
