Re:weights
For a 3mm suit in salt water you can start with about (body weight) - 6 pounds. That is not a scientific calculation but a "rule of thumb" based on anecdotal evidence. You can fine tune it after that and you will probably drop a couple of pounds after you get more comfortable diving. If you concentrate on relaxing and not kicking that alone can make a couple of pounds difference in being able to get down.
Congrats on your cert.
