I am 5'7, 125 lbs and have no problems with fall rates whatsoever, but it has taken 700 jumps to get here. The secret to a wide fall rate span lies in your hips, and can be further expanded by different wearing suits and weights. I see many people that throw weights on thinking that this will solve their fall rate problems and then forget about the arching altogether. If you get a chance (time and money...), a weekend in a windtunnel may be well spent. The controller can regulate the airspeed as you lay on the air column and it's fun to try to "max out" your belly fall rate! The Arizona Airspeed guys are great coaches and have several seminars. Good luck & hips out!
