Partitioning in most linux distros use GParted (which is either launched with some assistance during install attempts) or you can manually launch GParted by searching for it. It kind of looks like you already know what to do with your partitions, but are confused about the boot partition?
Assuming all you want to do is have your partitions as listed and just want to run linux lite out of the box, it should already be able to install with the guided mode (if you don't use or have a boot partition, it would warn you to make one and tell you how and ask to go back). Sometimes if you already have a windows os on the machine (even if you wipe out its specific partition), the boot partition will already exist and not require recreation.
I'm being a bit inspecific here because I don't know exactly what hardware or circumstances you want to install this in. Also, I am learning linux like you, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Lot of what I learned was easier for me because I intentionally messed with (or broke) a couple of old guinea pig machines. If you have something you can test on before imaging a laptop that is more important, it's worth trying that approach, in my opinion.
