I'll just throw my 2bar in here if only to give @Bent Benny something to consider
Lots of people think they're about right weight wise. Mostly they're wrong. When I get Con Ed and especially those on PPB, I spend a lot of time on weight checks. I have a complete set of weights of all sizes so as to get them precisely dialed in
The last weekend I had a couple. The girl - there was more fat on a french fry, the guy less than 200lbs - both were happy with their weighting
The girl I took off 3lbs (down to 5lbs) the guy 7lbs (from 14). At teh end of each dive - at 3m (15') I bled their air down to 400psi (30ish bar) and proved they could still hold a stop with Ali tanks.
I can't stress enough the importance of a good weight check, especially for newer divers. It's the only way to get dialed in
