I'm exactly the same size as you and I ride a 52cm Felt Hybrid. It is perfect for me. they do a 55, it would be too big for me, without doubt.
This said, different manufacturers are different so bear that in mind. I also have a hardtail MTB, a Be-One which I got smaller (so the wife can ride it basically too - she rides it with the seat fully down but it is still a good clearance from the frame top tube) but it does fit me ok albeit with the seat very high off the frame (but normal in many people's eyes). It is 16inch (41cm), if my wife was never going to ride it, then I would have got it slightly larger, woulvenave got the 18" (46cm) but defo not 52 like the felt.
I'll take a photo of both tomorrow and post.
I think 55 will be too big for you on a hybrid. I think you should be in between the two really, but it would depend on the bike in question.

Could anyone advice which frame will be suitable for me???

Thank u so much for your advice.
