That weight on a weight belt about falls off my butt when I put it on a weight belt and just feels akward. Does anyone have a suggestion of another type of weight belt or am I just doing something wrong?
There are multiple options you can go with. Here's what Id do...

1) Weighted STA. Several venders make these. I use an Oxycheq which is 6lbs negative.

2) Weights pockets on your wasit webbing, and lower camband. ( XS Scuba Weight Pocket, Weights, XS Scuba, XS Scuba Weight Pocket )

5lbs in each weight pocket + a 6 lb STA = 26 lbs Very well distributed for good trim.
