Most riders and shops will match the widest point of the saddle (usually the butt) with the width of the pelvis.

In three years of sizing adult riders to saddles I've never seen this measurement to be less than 125-130 mm, and most adult men have been in the 130-150 mm range. Are you sure you were measured correctly?
