I know how you feel, I'm 5'0" and just under 140. I don't care, except when I went shopping, I was 130, and I don't fit into my clothes the right way anymore. But it's practically impossible to lose weight when I eat from my school cafeteria all the time. I'm going to have to start eating more of my own food than the cafeteria food.
Anyway, according to my BMI, I should weigh, at most, 125. According to yours, you should be 140. But honestly, I think I look just fine at 130--maybe I can't be a bikini model, but I can still wear size 6 or 8 pants. You say you're curvy--you could probably afford to be a little more generous with your weight. So I think we have the same goal in mind.
It might be nice to aim for 140, but you will probably still look healthy if you just get under 150. Actually, I bet you look healthy now.
Please message me and clarify this: What's a stone?

Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is the better way of calculating what people should weigh. According to your statistics, your current BMI is 27.5. For your age and gender, it should not exceed 25.
THEREFORE, you will need to get down to at least 141 lbs.

Go to your doctors or find a BMI chart (Body Mass Index). It's a chart which works out how much you should weigh according to your height.
You might be able to find a chart online.

115-120 depending on your body frame.
