You really don't need to worry about weight until around 45-50, imo. And if you aren't the tank in a group, there is pretty much no reason to worry about it, you shouldn't get hit that often when pulling. That said, you can also pick where you level and what you loot. If you level in MM, one big vendor cash drop is gargoyle eyes which vendor for 10pp. You can easily collect these without going over weight. Also in MM there are vendors not too far away, so you can always run and vendor heavy items if suddenly your group needs you to tank instead of pull.
Always delete copper and silver, it really isn't worth it. If you can, trade gold for plat to someone like a druid, shaman, or wizard in your group who can easily sow/strength buff/port to get rid of the gold. You can also buy lots of gems off vendors to save from losing much plat value and to reduce your weight. Getting good bags will also help a lot. Backpacks are really heavy compared to some other options out there. It also can't hurt to ask your group to get some of the lighter cash drops. Leveling in SolB as a druid I never had a problem with looting all the heavy items that take up one slot each, then quickly porting to lavastorm, selling it all, and running back to the camp with sow. Some people won't want to do this, but others will be cool with letting you have more of the light and stackable drops. You'll also make much more plat the higher you get in level, so just level up, don't try to farm bronze or anything. Best bet for monk plat farming is probably to get a solid duo/trio and farm a cash camp and either split the sale of the item if they are friends or roll on it and wait til you win.
