Yes, it is possible to make yourself harder to lift. By shifting your center of gravity , which is usually referred to as your hips, down you can make it much harder to be lifted. It depends on which kind of lift, but this usually does the trick.

Shifting your center of gravity does not make you heavier. It shifts the point where your body is balanced.

No, the center of gravity cannot be shifted to prevent being lifted. The center of gravity is a fixed point based on the distribution of mass in an object, so changing it would require physically altering the object itself.
The force of gravity on an object that needs to be lifted is called the object's weight. This weight is the measure of the force of gravity pulling the object downward towards the Earth.
Potential energy and gravity are directly related. The potential energy of an object is determined by its position in a gravitational field. The higher an object is lifted, the greater its potential energy due to gravity. Gravity acts as a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, and this force affects the potential energy of an object based on its height above the ground.
The gravitational potential energy increases when the center of gravity of an object is raised, as the object has been lifted against gravity. The potential energy is directly proportional to the height of the center of gravity above a reference point, such as the ground.
To lift objects, you have to overcome the force of gravity acting on them. By applying an upward force greater than the force of gravity, you are able to lift the object against gravity's pull. This force is necessary to provide the object with the acceleration needed to move it upwards.
Gravity helps pulleys by providing the force needed to move the object being lifted. As the object is pulled down by gravity, the pulley system redirects the force, making it easier to lift the object by changing the direction of the force needed. This allows for heavier objects to be lifted with less effort.
