I'm about 175 lbs right now. I wasn't suggesting the Tarmac for you. That was an example of how the manufacturer suggested sizes for me was 56 and 58cm based on height and whatever else Specialized might have used back for the 2020 models. Yet I think I might have like a 54 cm better. I'll not know since I didn't try out a 54.
As for what bike to get, if you don't know enough about what matters to you in a bike and it's fit, then I'd recommend you make sure you buy a bike at a price that you can get another when you finally do have the experience to know for yourself what you want.
If you ride a lot you'll get fitter so the bike you like now may not be the bike you'll like later. So save your big bucks till you know what you want.
