I am diving doubles with a 6 pound plate and only use 16 pounds of weight. With a Single and aluminum BP I only needed 25 pounds. 30 pounds seems like quite a bit. I am 5' 10" and 230 pounds....also diving a drysuit. I use a DUI weight harness with the dry suit.

Al backplate is about -1.5 lbs neg, couples lbs for a reg, and you are up to about 28 lbs of ballast for your Dry suit. A big guy in a full 7 mil can be 30 lbs positive.
