That is my main point. While you are spending training time cutting weight to get down to a very thin 149 with a lot of muscle loss you are going in deprived and lacking the strength needed to take on a shorter more natural built guy (for the class) with more muscle for the weight class.
If you pack on some more muscle mass and compete at a higher weight class you will have much better results over the long run. You don't have to get beastly just try finding a more natural weight class to compete in where you will have your height and strength advantage optimized. 5'11" and competing at either 139 or 149 just sounded to me like you were going in really depleted and not at an optimal level.
