That said, I've gained 4 pounds while losing an inch and a half off my waist this year. My lifts are up, rolling's going great, plenty of energy...
But I get pretty hungry trying (and failing) to stay at 145, even eating low-calorie-density food (salad, fruit, chicken breast, fish, et cetera).
If I relaxed enough to put an inch back on my waist - actually did hypertrophy on purpose for a change - how much heavier would I be? How many sizes would I go up?
I'm not talking about trying to bulk like a skinny guy, just eating enough that I don't get hungry. I miss honey-roasted peanut butter. ;-) And milk. And steak. And Sunday brunch. And....
On the street, it's not like the muggers will go up a weight class just 'cause you do. For street defense, go with what feels better. Keep working out, and go for those honey-roasted peanut butter sandwiches. You might lose a few more sparring matches, but you'll be ever-so-slightly more likely to win on the street.

Do it. Unless you are right at the top of your weight in a BJJ division. Even then if you have the skills you should be able to hold your own.
