There's no way for us to determine which weight would be best for you based on your age/weight.
It depends on how much you can currently lift and what kind of work outs you are going to be doing.
Are you going to be doing endurance (many reps, low weight) or strength (few reps, high weight)?
Are you going to be using dumbells or a bench?
Are you going to be doing specific exercises or just simply lifting over and over?
Your best bet would be to experiment with weights - start out low and work your way up to where you can comfortably work out for more than 5 minutes using the same weight, but still feel like you worked hard after you're done.
