It seems your calculations are ok.
But as you mentioned you have 3 years 9 months experience. If i was at your place, i would have applied after completing 4 years. Because that would give you extra 5 points to make it 145, just to be on the safer side.

One thing you should consider while claiming bonus points for absolute skills shortage, you need bachelors degree at level 7 with 3 years post qualification experience.
