It looks like your request would work if you were using the latest version of the API. In the latest version the documentation you can see that your categories object matches theirs. The legacy v3 is a bit different though.

WooCommerce REST API v3 Legacy:

The documentation indicates that you pass the category id's in as a list of integers. It looks like you were trying to include an object with name, slug, and id. I've edited your request below to meet the v3 spec.

 {
    "product":
    {
        "managing_stock":true,
        "title":"Testing123-1",
        "sku":"Testing123-3",
        "price":0.0,
        "categories":[254],
        "stock_quantity":0,
        "tags":[]
    }
 }
