so you should just stay where you are, and lose a pound if you need to
Most tournaments also reserve the right to change weight classes if too many or too few people populate one or more divisions. In smaller tournaments, combining weight classes is often done for advanced divisions. In bigger tournaments, separating weight classes sometimes happens when too many people sign up for one division.
