Dear thanks for the question.
Yes you are right. This is high blood pressure. Normal blood pressure is 120/80, irrespective of body weight or height. So its high blood pressure and you should start treatment as it is not good to remain in high blood pressure state.
Try to reduce your weight, eat less fat diet, less salt,do meditation and exercises. Remember you have to take treatment for life long.
Please write a feedback. Do write for follow up queries. I wish you good health. Thank you
