NEVER purchase a wetsuit without trying it on.

Try this surfshop site I hope it's near you it has several brands and you can try the sizes and get to know what your size is various brand, don't buy secondhand as fit is important to give you warmth.

Good luck and a progress report and what the surf is like in Argentina would be great :D

That is about the only advice I can give you, Australia is on the other side of the world, so it was general at best guess :?:

Do you need to think cheap :?: It isn't always the best option. Most brands if you go to their website have a sizing chart.
That may be your option :!:
