Notice that a number in row $k$ is $2k$ less than the number directly below it. For example, $5$, which is in row $3$, is $(2)(3)=6$ less than the number below it, $11$. From row 1 to row $k$, there are $k\left(\frac{1+(-1+2k)}{2}\right)=k^2$ numbers in those $k$ rows. Because there are $12^2=144$ numbers up to the 12th row, $142$ is in the $k^{th}$ row. The number directly above is in the 11th row, and is $22$ less than $142$. Thus the number directly above $142$ is $142-22=\boxed{120}$.
