@CPRC the video quality isn't great with all the particulate. Where is the waist belt in relation to your body? It should be right over the hip bones where you wear your jeans belt. If it's not that far down, then loosen the shoulder straps and tighten the crotch strap until it gets down that low and stays down that low.
Remember that trim/balance is dynamic since the center of gravity for the tanks shifts forwards as they are empty which makes it easier.
In a 3mm you also don't have a lot of lift from your legs and if you have muscular legs you will likely struggle with that in thin suits forever. Try wearing thicker booties to give you some extra lift in your feet. If you are balanced in the thick suits, then it is likely a leg lift issue.
Also keep in mind that the gas in the bladder shifts. If you start slightly head up, the lift will start in the top of the bladder, if you start slightly head down then it will be easier to stay flat since the gas is in the bottom of the BC.
