Use smaller dimensions
If the image is still too large, reduce the dimensions first. A 100KB target is much easier at 1200px than at 4000px.
Switch to WebP
WebP often gets closer to 100KB than JPG at the same visual quality. It is a good first try for upload limits.

Lower quality slowly
Do not jump straight to terrible quality. Reduce a little, preview, then repeat until the file lands under the limit.
