TIA
70-75lb dumbbell is pretty strong for your weight already. If your goal is to hit the 100's at 125-126, that would be insane... Keep going hard at it. The average male don't hit their maximal strength capacity until their late 20's and theoretically, with improved form and technique, you don't hit your strength peak until your 30's. Plenty of time to grow and get stronger, no excuses
