headwinds and being a bigger dude...any tricks to maintain your speed ?

I really find being a bigger guy at 205 for a cyclist that headwinds really effect me

I have a broad build and some times feel like I'm' a parachute when donig my pulls

last night I found we would be riding along at 38km/h but then on my pulls we'd drop down to say 32 and my legs were not feeling snappy at all

I found the more the wind picked up the harder it was for me to hide my bigger frame even in the drops....where I rarely ride

so anyone have any tips for hiding a bigger frame from the winds so you can keep pulling at the same pace with smaller riders who seem to thrive in the wind
