300lb (130kg) pilot
My intention is to be polite and kind... being a glider pilot can be a powerful motivation to stay fit and keep the weight off.
You probably cannot have your cake and eat it.

300lb (130kg) pilot
One of the two place ships that can do what you ask is a Brasov Lark (the -28, I think). When we had it flying (more later) we could have a 200 pound instructor and 300 pound front seat occupant and stay in all limits.
BUT they are mostly at the end of the manufacturers life limits. Ours timed out (by calendar)with only about 1200 hours on the airframe. If you can find a newer one it might be a good choice.

Based on when most of the Larks were built, I would think that 90% of them have reached the calendar life limit.
