I am a newer diver but on good days I can get to around .58 cu ft/min maybe .55? But usually in the .58-.65 range but hoping to get it down to .50-.55 more consistently with more dives under my belt!

You should be able to get it down. As you gain experience, you should be able to shed some weight from your kit thereby reducing the amount of air you have to add to you BCD. That will get you more streamlined
and reduce your drag in the water. And, you'll get more comfortable int he water. When I first started I was at a higher rate of air consumption than you and I'm consistently below .5 now and have a few times dipped below .4. So keep diving and improving and you'll more than likely get there, too.
