You lack the hours for an FAA CPL. It's 250 hrs needed or 190 hrs if trained under Part 141 ie the equivalent of CAP509/integrated. Note that CAP 509 or integrated and the like aren't under Part 141 (how can they be? They're a different authority's set of rules) so wouldn't meet the criteria to gain the 141 reduced hours benefit. At best you could get a PPL for now. If you wanted to include an FAA B737 type rating at the same time then it would be limited to private operations. That private ops limit will remain even if you subsequently get an FAA CPL or ATPL later, unless you do another checkride to get the type rating amended to include CPL or ATPL.

You really need to check your hours against Part 61 of the FARs. Don't forget the subdivisions for the various types of hours that must be included *and* the criteria to credit certain flights eg what exactly counts as X-country time for the purposes of meeting CPL minimum experience requirements, minimum distance flights etc.
