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?

One other option is a kind of weight belt made and sold buy DUI (the drysuit people) it is a weight belt with integrated suspenders so it can't fall down. The belt part has pockets where you put hard or soft weights. there is a "rip cord" release. Pull it and the weight falls out. It looks way to complex but it works well for people who need to cary a lot of weight and have a body shape that will not let a belt stay on.
That said 27 lbs in addition to a back plate in fresh water is a lot.
