Your KGS account isn't based so much off just your win rate but the rank of those you have won against. So even if you won a few games and stopped playing but those who you beat kept playing and gained in rank, your rank would improve. If those you are beating are staying 10k and not improving it'll take longer for your rank to improve than if you were beating people whose rank was improving.

If your account is getting heavy by all means make a new one.

Go2where, 64% wins as 11k is actually consistent with a (very) strong 11k; which you can see is where you were hovering for the past two weeks.
The less you worry about whether your account is heavy or light or isostatic, the better. If you want to play stronger players, or play at a reduced handicap, ask in the L19 room, or elsewhere. Other players will be happy to oblige (although as you've probably figured out by now, if there are 15 people in the L19 room, it will sometimes take a while before any of them see your message).
