I play 11-52s on my guitars — even the little one — so I second the vote for light strings. Guitar is hard enough without the strings biting your fingers all the time. 😁
Along with that, it might be worth spending a few $$ on getting a setup done. If your guitar has too much neck relief, or the action is too high, it’s a lot harder to fret the strings and a lot more tiring to play.
