Whatever it is.. I've been looking at wt classes and the one applicable to me is either the sub-63kg or the sub-58kg class. I'm now sitting at 61kg and 25% bf (30d average on Omron).
The bf% would indicate I could stand to lose more.. however the other side of the coin is that I've never been below 58kg for the past 27 years. Besides, as an old chick there's apparently a different category altogether.
So question is: should I bother to lose wt/fat? And if I do, when is the time to do it? Now when I'm still new to the sport seems like a better idea than when the actual physical load will become higher.
OTOH when I just started I had to up calories as it was quite draining on the CNS at first.
Advice is appreciated...

I would just get started. The lower weight doesn't sound like it would be realistic for you.
