I am the same height as you and was just learning a year ago. I bought a Honda CRF230F and with some help form my boyfriend, was riding in no time.
The 230F is very sturdy. I ran it into a few trees and it even ran off an embankment and flipped over backwards (i bailed beforehand) and it's still in one piece… minus a few scratches! It has a lot of top-end speed, so it's lacking in quickness… meaning its a fast bike when you get it up to 5th-6th gear, but it takes a while to build up that speed. This makes for a very unitimidating engine thats perfect for a beginner and great for just putting around the backyard or through the woods. Believe me, it's still a fun bike to learn on!
The seat height is just right. The only problem may be weight, it is a bit on the heavy side due to the indestructible steel frame. You may want to opt for the 150F if you don't have much upperbody strength, especially if you'll be out w/o anyone to help you get the bike back up if you do fall.
Either way, Honda is a great brand and keeps a good resale value if you change your mind about riding. Whatever brand you end up with, you will definitely want to get a 4-stroke off-road bike (not a motocross racer)
