Usually when I get to mount I immediately grapevine and let him struggle to get out. Once he works to neutralize my hooks I then go straight to locking my ankles slamming my hips down knocking out his breath. When he starts trying to post/push up on my hips I pluck his hands away. He bridges I base. He post/pushes I pluck. He tries to rool I take the back. He turns to side I go into technical mount and likely set up armbar, side choke or take back. Rinse repeat until he is submitted, gassed from the pressure/escape attempts or just plain frustrated. Then I unlock my ankles if still in that form of mount which is nice and smothering and work up higher to open up subs. Any chance of him escaping boom I slam back down into grapvines and work my way back up.
Thats the majority of my mount strategy and generally works pretty well even against guys 60 lbs or more than me.

Sorry that was just from the mount. From side mount its all about neutralizing the hips and transitioning when needed. There are many forms of side mount and I find against big guys the key to holding it is to be able to quickly transition between the various forms of it as he works escapes. Most escapes he does can be countered by transitioning into another form of side mount if needs be or even north south, mount or even take the back. Constant pressure, neutralize his hips, no space.
