Fur Finley is right on point. His answer is perfect. Go with the 143.

First, a 143 would be perfect for you. My wife weighs exactly what you do, has a 143, and loves it. Plus, the size charts match up for this size too. Because you are a beginner I would definitely recommend you have a board that is on the smaller end of the spectrum. With it being shorter it will be so much easier for you to control and maneuver. And yes this would be a great all mountain board. It is designed for "all mountain" so you're good to go no matter where you go and what you try. Also, just so you know, it is a directional board, which means one binding is closer to the end of the board than the other. Meaning you want the side that's closest to the end to be the back of your board. This way you will float over the snow easier. You'll love this board. I ride a Forum too, and I love it!
