I would perhaps even suggest sticking to the basic novice programme for much longer. Your lifts are not big for your size, you have a long ways to go on the basic progression. It is best to focus on less at a time.
If I was you, I would focus on getting my squat to 150kg and my deadlift to 200kg before adding other exercises.
And when you do start to work on pull ups as a goal, keep it simple. If you can do 5 reps to failure, just do as many sets across with 1-3 reps per set. This method is excellent for building pull up rep max.
