Hovering and weight issues

I am in the middle of my DM course and can do all the skills but am struggling with the hover. I can do it flat, but as soon as I try to do it in an upright position, my tank takes me over backways. I can't move weight around as I am negatively buoyant in a full 3mm wetsuit without any weight. In fact I need a new BCD as I can't float at present on the surface with my current BCD full of air without finning! not quite sure what my body is made of - lead maybe!

Anyone have any suggestions?

I know I can pass my course by using the flat position, but I would like to be able to do it upright too!
