When you lift, since you gain muscle, you will likely gain weight from losing fat and having it replaced with muscle. This is not a bad thing though since muscle weighs more than fat. However, you seem to be at a healthy weight for your height.

When I started lifting I slimmed down but gained weight in muscle. You will probably be fine.
