If you av. speed is 32kmph it's pretty quick for a beginner. I assume that your weight is rather more than 22.5kg, tho'. Don't worry too much about the weight of your bike - upgrading to a lighter one can wait. 23mm tires are fine

I suggest that you find out contact details for any local cycling clubs. that way, you should be able to meet other female cyclists

Good luck
