All you can do is keep training and see what happens with your weight. As long as you are training healthy, eating healthy, and getting the proper amount of rest, then your weight loss should not be an issue (health-wise).

As a fighter, its usually best to shoot down for the lower weight class. But if you can avoid "weight cutting" practices to acheive the lower weight, its better because it won't screw up your body. Most fighters dehydrate themselves to cut weight, but that can lead to bad health issues (in & out of the ring).

But, you also have to understand that almost ALL fighters "cut" weight.... so someone who is fighting at 140-145 could EASILY be walking around at 165 lbs as their normal weight. You have to take those kinds of things into consideration when you prepare to fight.....
