There are tons of boats that fit you at that size. You must not have looked at all.
Creekers: Diesel 65, Punk Rocker, Burn S
Playboats: star, Project45, vision44, nemesis S, flirt S
River Runners: kendo, Juice, 2Fun, ammo S, recoil S

that's just off the top of my head.

Playaks boat database is very powerful. Check it out:

playak.com/kayaks.php

Choose a few manufacturers, choose maybe allrounder, creeker and playboat from the kayak type. Choose 2008 to whatever for the year.
Then choose under order results by: minimum paddler weight and also smallest first.

You'll get something like this:


As you can see there are quite a few small boats, this depends on which manufacturer you choose of course... Good luck and have fun! Hope this helps you. :grin:

The small Fluid Flirt and small Fluid Solo would suit you... :D
