If you say you are near your destination, does that mean you have yet to arrive, that you have arrived, or that you have gone past it? Being a statement of quality (not quantity), it means only that your location is in the approximate vicinity of your destination.
Same for weight. "Weighing near 160" means only that your weight is more or less the approximate value of 160, and does not mean any specific number.
