Men's wetsuits won't work with those measurements (IMHO). I get the relatively stretchy suit (Henderson Hyperstretch or Thermoprene, Pinnacle Elastiprene etc.) and then go a size down and it doesn't balloon too much but is pretty comfy, it also gets you into a suit that is the right height (I am 5'3 3/4") whatever you do make sure you can try them on before you definitely have to purchase.
P.S. I totally ignore the weight's-- they are useless for me, my measurements put me at 2 sizes smaller than the weight, so definitey try them on.
