I could use some help with maintaining weight on my steer. He's just about where I want him right now, but I have trouble keeping him there. I'm new to showing steers so any other tips would be great too.

Try to gradually replace half of the ration with oats or wet beet pulp.  IMO beet pulp works best.  Pour some hot water on beet pulp a half hour before mixing you feed to let it expand. good luck!!

A little experimenting with rations wouldn't hurt your steer to find out what puts him over and under. What's he weight now?
