Mine is exact same weight as yours and carried it around Europe for 3 months with no problems. Unlike some backpackers I don’t tote my packback around everywhere I go. Leave your big pack and tent in your hotel (or check it at the hostel office) and spend the day with just a day back. I travel with a partner so we usually take turns with the tent or split it up (one carries poles and pegs, other carries tent)
