Maybe a tuck? (Estoc.) It's like an oversized rapier, made to pierce through armour or easily slip in creaks and cracks, though I have no idea if they have courses with this specific sort of weapon. :/

There are lots of different styles of fencing. Sport fencing is only one type. Since you're large, you might want to look into historical fencing. You'll learn weapons like longsword and rapier and dagger or maybe even staff or halberd, and usually a good amount of grappling as well, which is an advantage for a larger, stronger person, especially when coupled with excellent technique. It will also help you lose weight, since swordsmanship can be very cardio-intensive and both requires and helps one to increase their physical fitness. Plus it's really, really fun. Groupd like ARMA and AEMMA can get you started.
