The differences in the boards' width has to do with early planing more than sailors' weight. Of course, a lighter sailor might be able to get an iS145 planing as early as a heavier sailor can plane on the iS155. The extra width will give you earlier planing while sacrificing high wind control.

I'm only 65kg and have never sailed the iS133 or iS145, so I can't help you in your comparison beyond my comments above.
