On second glance, that one's definitely oversized. See how the shoulder seam is dropped down over the arm instead of at the actual shoulder? And the arms are baggy too. So I'd say it's an oversized sport coat.

Here's one.

Another one,
scroll down for a couple more options. What you may want to do is find a boxy style blazer that you like and then have someone alter it to be slimmed down to fit your waist.

If I come a cross one like that, I probably will take it to check the construction inside. It got to be lined, probably with a raglan type shoulder pad, if any. I am intrigued to find out. And if you don't mind one used, I can send it to you. My husband has about the same height and weight for checking the fit.
But there is no guarentee, this type seems hard to come by.

The tailoring lines on that pattern would be perfect for slimming down to your waist size. To achieve the shoulder look you want, the shoulder pads would need to be omitted, with one layer of cotton batting replacing them, in the shape of a western shirt yoke, going from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
Good luck.
Been there. Done that. Went back for more. But this time, I took this tiny ad with me:
