I have the same problem and have taken the seat apart to try to fix it. The frame is weak and breaks very easily. We tried rivets and welding. Still not strong enough. I would recomend replacing it with another seat.

I took both of my seats apart and where the welds broke, just drilled them out and put in bolts. Still good a year later.

I took off the cover, pulled the seat to slightly the opposite lean, then drilled it and put big rivits in. Works great!
Yeah, I am a bit overweight too, but my seat was broken to begin with.
