if you read Lou's "for instance" case on pg 13-14, you will see that his 120 lb woman loses fat (from 30% to 17.5%), increases lean muscle by 10% and ends up at the same weight.

as I read it, the main thrust of the "work out hard & eat at maintenance" nutrition chapters is geared to doing exactly that - body recomposition with the same target weight (or close) - see pg 66-69 for how the math might work out.

so give it a shot - take your measurements, calculate your calories, hit the weights and see what happens over the next 6-8 weeks.
