Breaking strings is not about the gauge you’re using. Either you need to refine your picking more, or (more likely) you have a breaking point on the guitar, usually the nut or the bridge, that needs to be addressed by a luthier or “home remedy” if you have confidence and interest. Switching to heavier strings would require a setup anyway.
