Depends how tall or short you want it. Its mature enough. Looks like there is about 7 sets of leaves...just cut the main stem above where you see the node (where the leaves and stems are coming out of the main stem) id cut it at just above the 3 set from the top. I would have done it earlier, but its perfectly fine and wont hurt her. It's always hard your first time ( ain't that the truth, lol) once you do and see what happens, you'll understand the plant and it makes more sense.good luck friend. If you're still not sure, edit your picture with a line of where you think and repost it and I will gladly help you. Just make sure you reply to this message or I won't see it.
 
Cut that part off so it stops growing up and forces the other stems to grow. It’s a bit tall and I could be wrong but looks like you may have bugs.

You could top it there too if you wanted. Without the 45° angle. Just straight across. It'd be a waste to do that now. Next go, try topping it around the the 3rd week or after 4 or 5 nodes which ever comes first. Gl
 
What works for me, but could be any node really.

Heres a lil tip also dont top it too tight to the node always leave a tiny bit of stem so its easier for the plant to heal itself and lets it close the wound easier
