A 7mil farmer john with hood and gloves in Florida? There's one problem. What's the water temp?
If, when you get the neoprene situation straightened out, you still need 20lbs or more, I would suggest switching to a steel tank first. That should remove another 6-9 lbs, then you might have a manageable 6lbs in each of two pockets. You can get the fancy dive-rite quick release weight pockets, or I'm sure other companies make them, or just get the XSscuba cam band pockets. I think they hold 5 lbs each, you might be able to get 6 in one. They have a simple velcro closure. If you're ultra set on "quick release" weights, and you don't want to get the actual weight pockets, there are some people that just install the XS scuba pocket upside down, so that if you pull the velcro flap open, the weights fall out. I would not do that, but then again I'm not too worried about ditchable weight. Half the time mine are empty anyhow.
In theory, you're right about keeping some weight on a belt if you have a buoyant wetsuit, in case you need to remove the rig at depth. But, at the surface, which is really the only place you would ever dump weights, it doesn't matter. If you're entangled at depth to the point where you need to remove your rig, and there's nobody there to help get you free, you got bigger problems than whether or not you're wearing a weight belt.
