So much of diver rescue in the real environment is technique. Much more so than your strength. Some of the best rescue divers I have trained have been smaller women because they take the time to learn what works for them and what does not when they are with larger divers.
Really focus with your instructor on all the multiple ways there are to do just about everything in a diver rescue and then find the ways that work best for you. This will drastically cut down on your physical exertion and could make a big difference if you had to do it for "real".
