You have two way to do that:
Encode it to a lower bit rate and/or lower resolution. Have a look here: Is it possible to compress video on Android?.
Try to zip/compress it. Have a look here: http://www.jondev.net/articles/Zipping_Files_with_Android_%28Programmatically%29
Unfortunately I never tried to do that with a 140MB video. This is why I suggested to you the first library (FFmpeg 4 Android).
By the way, try to increase also your UPLOAD_LIMIT on your server. But this is not the problem, even if you increase it to 10MB you still have to compress it. Do not try to increase the UPLOAD_LIMIT to 140MB, it will cause for sure an HTTP timeout.
Otherwise you need to enable a chunked upload.
Have a look on this discussion:
