(Str + Body) / 2 ;)

IRL, to have a high weight, you almost *have* to have a high strength to
carry that weight around. In SR, you can have a body of 6 with a str of 2,
which would be unrealistic IRL. ;) (Unless Str is purely muscle mass, of
course, which is another argument, altogether. =P)

I personally would say that you should at least have half of your body
rating in Str. ie: body of 6, str of 3. body of 4, str of 2. ;) Round down,
since us high weight people (meaning, me.) tend to be lazy and only really
want to be strong enough to move around without collapsing. =P (That was a
joke, people. =P)
