@avinashchundu9 Could you confirm if the following build fixes the issue?
Build: quay.io/mvsr222/k8s-bigip-ctlr:weightChangeLBTest

I tried the new image. After changing the weight CIS has issues posing declaration. I noticed weird behavior of pool members getting removed 1 by 1 every time CIS failed to post the declaration. I will email you the logs.

@avinashchundu9 From the logs I see that the pools are missing The requested Pool Member (/imc-cn1001-2/Shared/f5_hello_world_8080_achundu /Common/rf3scn1002x003.rf3stg.mfgint.intel.com 32625) was not found. Could you share me the sample config you're validating with.
