Another spoke broke

I had a broken spoke a while back on the rear wheel of my 2012 Specialized Roubaix. Today another spoke broke. Both breaks were in the middle of the spoke. This time the rim is bent.
The rims are DT Swiss with Axis hubs. The rim measured 20mm outer width. The rear wheel has 30 spokes and the front has 24.
I think the narrow rims and low spoke count are no match for my weight- 270 pounds.
I think I need to replace at least the rear but I don’t have any idea what to look for.
The current tires are 28mm and I don’t think I can go wider.
