Mike,
You're in high school right?
I hesitate to give you any recommendations whatsoever to lose weight.
Do you have a legit shot at winning a state title at a lower weight class that could earn you a shot a full ride in college? If you realistically do (meaning your coach has told you so and is ready to start selling you to the colleges), then you may consider a sensible plan to drop a little weight.
I have told this to countless wrestlers. It's not your weight, it's your wrestling skills and conditioning that will win matches.
High School wrestling: 2 underfed guys who haven't had anything to drink for a day and a half (to include spitting in a cup all day and perhaps some chocolate flavored Ex-Lax)before weigh-ins get on a mat and roll around in exhaustion because they also ran around the school for an hour in a plastic suit to drop 2 pounds of water weight. The result...decreased strength, decreased endurance, decreased reaction time...therefore, lousy performance and boring matches (seen it, trained 'em, etc.).
If I were you, get on Berardi's Massive Eating guidelines and use your training (why the heck are you laying around all day??) as the caloric deficit. Don't worry about what source of fats other than making good food choices.
Work on your wrestling skills and conditioning NOW so you're ahead of the game and wrestle at whatever weight you are when it comes time for weigh-ins.
Work on a good relative strength program with some athletic lifts thrown in. You'll be pleased with your performance.
