Ok, I can fit in the usual C172/PA28 but want to try a few others for touring with the wife. On VFR only. Don't be silly and say stearman but I would be very interested in any PFA types that are suitable, looking for fun but i'm too big for the usual types. Forget C150, C152, Bulldog, C42 (W&B issues) and pretty much all microlights.

Try Beech Sundowner or one of my favorites, a Piper TriPacer.
The Sundowner's trailing-link mains will help you impress your passengers with your smooth landings.
We had a TriPacer and absolutely loved it. It's so ungainly that it's endearing, it will carry about as much as a PA28, go about as fast AND usually cost less to buy. They have the same Lycoming O320 that can run 2400+ TBO.
You used to be able to find really ugly, but mechanically sound ones for 10K. Those days are over, but they're usually quite a bit less than 172s or Cherokees.

If you already know about 172s and PA28s all you need to look at is something bigger, because anything smaller would not be
comfortable to fly.
Check out 182s and PA32s.

Tho VERY ifr capable, the The CIRRUS SR20-G2 is the plane for you it sounds like.

The Cirrus would be appropriate.
The SR20 or if you really want to go high and fast the SR22.
My favorite SEP ! (I fly in a SR20 with a friend . We are both in the 1.90m+ 120kg range)

you can stick with the Cessnas, and try the 182, or the 210.. those are good ones. you can also try the Beechcrat Bonanza.
