5lbs is a good estimate
 
For a starting point:

3mm jumpsuit estimate 5% of your body weight.

5mm jumpsuit estimate 10% of your body weight.

Don't forget to account for the negative buoyancy of your kit (regs, back plate, tank, etc.) Fine tune from there.
 
With my 3/2 mm Bare Med-Large full suit, I use 8 lbs, but with my 5/4 mm Bare Med-Large full suit I use 10-12 lbs. It works for me.
