The answer is that, even though you are small, your mass exerts a force on every piece of the Earth, simultaneously. When you add all those forces together, the sum is 150 lb. So you are pulling up on the Earth exactly as much as the Earth is pulling down on you.
Earth's Gravity: 9.8 m/s²
This results in Earth having a gravitational strength of 9.8 m/s² close to the surface (also known as 1 g), which naturally decreases the farther away one is from the surface. In addition, the force of gravity on Earth actually changes depending on where you're standing on it.
