From BenDavid: should remove the trim weight (rear) or reduce the BC pocket weight (front) instead

That’s going to be a personal fit based on your body, rig, buoyancy control and a few other conditions. I dive in very cold water with a 7mm suit and keep almost 30% of my weight (regardless of tank) in my back trim pockets. When I dive in mild climates I use 15-20% of my total weight in back if I have a 3mm or shorty on. If I’m in the tropics with a dive skin or just trunks and a t-shirt, I don’t use trim weights.
