Remember that MCR/LRC won't be found at a constant power setting.

MRC occurs at 1.32 Vimd, or a constant AoA. At heavy weight, this occurs at a higher speed and as you burn fuel and lose weight, to maintain that AoA, the speed decreases and therefore power. You can however keep climbing and convert that excess power into flying at a higher altitude.
