Narrative:
Flight took a delay due to issues loading cargo. Shortly after airborne; I received a call from load planning (lp) supervisor informing that ZZZ ramp incorrectly loaded the aircraft and that in its current status they were exceeding max tail limit by around 200 lbs. Lp said that removing passengers from row xy would put the aircraft within limits. After discussion with crew over ACARS we agreed to confirm row xy was empty and to have lp send the correct weights en route.
