There's a couple misconceptions out there:
1. weight- quit worrying about how much you weigh and instead worry about how you look and feel. are you in shape? If you go from 160 to 180 instead of to 150, but it's mostly muscle then you're better off.
2. If you're really working out you will lose fat faster then you can gain muscle weight (until you get to around 8% body fat or less then your body really tries to hang on to that fat) yes muscle weighs more, but it takes longer to pack on a pound of muscle than drop a pound of fat. Plus the muscle will help you burn calories every hour of every day.
Lift weights, work out, get strong, don't worry about how much you weigh.
