I’d stay somewhere in the 35-38 range you’ve already got on there.

you can get something light and racy like Gravel Kings or some of the Conti GP or Contact series, or go the other way with any number of the Schwalbe Marathon family or split the difference with a classic touring tire like the Panaracer Paselas.

Given your weight, and that you’re probably going to be carrying some gear, I’d look at some of the beefier touring-oriented options like the Marathon Supreme, something with a little tread, and puncture protection to shrug off the road hazards.
