Not up to weight? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ton

'weight' is the definition.
(unit of weight)

'not up' is the wordplay.
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'not' backwards is 'TON'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ton that I've seen before include "20 cwt" , "100 mph, runs, etc" , "People of fashion" , "2240lbs" , "Style" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
