I don't think your size matters, I have seen very large men become simply unstopable practicing TKD. However, this sounds like an ITF or WTF school. You might try and find another TKD school that doesn't adhere to either style strictly.

 

My school for instance place a very high emphasis on self defense in both sparring and on the street. We're taught to think like that.

 

As for your kicks, I'd recommend working on stretching excersises and weight lifting. Possibly a little kickboxing cross training to build your help flexor.

 

I am by no means an expert, just offering some advice.
