Answer
It is hard to say without putting you through your passes. Rugby is a game for all body shapes so mere measurements don't make for an absolute answer.
I suggest picking a position you feel best represents you. There are some prop-looking centers in rugby and some lock-looking wingers. Don't let your size or appearance dictate your position.
Also understand that players often change positions during their rugby career a few time before settling in. It makes for better over all game knowledge as well.
I started at lock, then prop, then flanker, then prop and hooker, had a go at #8 and even half back once.
You choose and do your best and be open to learn and change.
Tackle
Fullback or outside center?
