I was in a similar position about 2 months ago, I took the plunge and purchased an aqualung balance bcd, which is actually a wing so my DM tells me,
At first I kept spinning around but I found out I was massively overweighted like yourself
at the surface it pushes me slightly forward,but it's not a problem I just really lean back and lay on the wing,
The integrated weight pockets sit slightly higher than you would normally put a weight belt and are much more comfortable.
And my trim is great, much better than the other students on rentals, I just keep my heels above my head and frog kick along like a much more experienced diver.
Overall I 100% recommend a bpw or wing n back plate over a normal bcd
