No worries man but yeah those will be really small on you. Since you’re new to skiing you should probably use skis that are smaller than what people on here will
suggest but 163s on you will be really small

What’s the advantage or disadvantage for longer or shorter skis?

At you're height and weight, a ski as short as 163 would not have any stability. Especially if you're looking to get into park, a short ski just wouldn't provide enough of a platform for you to land on. I think a 177 would be doable for you while still being manageable to learn on.
