SS plate and doubles provide most of the weight I need. Any extra goes in a XS Scuba pouch or tail weight pouch on the tanks. For vacation, two pouches on the cambands, two on the waist belt.
How do you carry your weights from place to place?

Weights? What are those? No, just kidding. Since I switched to a BP/W my weight is just about right without needing extra. Lucky me, it does not always work out that way.
If I am diving doubles...no weight needed.
Single tank with a wetsuit...no weight needed.
Single tank with a drysuit...I have Velcro pouches that wrap around my waist-belt webbing of my harness. I keep the weight in those pockets and keep the pockets in my big Tupperware box with the rest of my dive gear.

I carry my basic weights in my weight belt. If I might switch to a thicker suit, I carry extra weight in a weight bag. There's a special place in hell for people who put lead in their gear bag.

Uh... don't you guys have dive sherpas to carry them? hehehe
Actually, I have the weights that I expect to need already on my weightbelt, and a few extras in a weight bag.

I use a "weight bag" for car transport locally , but not one marketed for scuba.
Following a suggestion on SB several years ago (can't find it now) I use a heavy-duty tool bag from Home Depot, cost about $9. It's held up pretty well so far.

I just use hard weights on weight belts. I just throw them in the back of the truck. I have a piece of plywood fit for the bed so that seems to give stuff a little grip so they they don't go sliding around the bed when taking corners.
Otherwise I have a milk crate with a couple rubber bungees strapped across the bottom for anti slip and I put weight belts and extra weight in there. Sometimes on multi day outings I will use up to three different wetsuits and I have weightbelts for each of them.

If I'm shore diving, the weights are hard weights on a weight belt, plus two 3-pounders for my cambands, and they ride loose in the back of the car. If I have to pack gear to carry onto a charter boat, the weight belt is simply carried in my hand, and the two small weights are either in the camband weight pouches where they go, or in the gear bag (sorry, Walter, but nobody carries my gear bag but me).

Ditchable weight stays on the belt in the back of my car together with my cylinder. The rest is fixed to my backplate which I store inside.
