Did you read the old thread? There is some good info there.
My SF buddy in the first phase was a tight end from Virginia Tech. He was probably your size, and he lost 25 pounds or so in the old Phase I, which included survival.
I don't see 75" and 225 being a problem, as long as it is in the right places, you can do all required PT with it (to include the APFT, pull-ups, rope climbs, obstacles, log drills, rucks, runs, and fast cross-country movement). Your run times are slow. Get a faster training buddy, like a linebacker or tight end and run with him.
If the weight compromises your ability to perform, then you need to trim it some more.
Make sure that you do not gain weight or lose strength/conditioning during Basic, AIT, and Airborne schools. Food is plentiful, conditioning is marginal, and you can let yourself go there to the point that you will not be in shape for SOPC.
Good luck.
