Hi, seriously. We have similar stats (I'm a full 5"1', lol) and 29% BF as of last week (115 pounds currently).
I strongly advise weight training AND cardio. If you have access to a gym, you can usually get a trainer to set you up with a program to start with. If not, I'd recommend Body for Life, or another very structured weight training and cardio program. I think just starting out, it really helps to have an organized plan. You're right, you can't spot reduce, but you will be able to work toward all of your goals through the right combo of lifting and cardio.
Different people here have different opinions about how much cardio vs. how much weight lifting to do. But I think, since you're a beginner, you can't go wrong with a standard, organized training program like BFL.
