After the parking checklist was completed we found a ACARS printout informing us of an overweight landing.  The printout listed the Max Structural Landing weight of 146;300; the actual landing weight section was blank.  Using our ZFW and arrival gate fuel we were approximately 200 pounds overweight on landing.   This overweight landing was due to two shortened routings we received by ATC saving time and fuel.  We completed a post flight debriefing which included a review of the OFP (Off-line Flight Planning) - FMS INIT LOAD section.  The flight was dispatched to land only 568 pounds below max structural landing weight.  We failed to identify this threat before departure or enroute which led to the subsequent error.Our expectation bias of recent low passenger loads and light aircraft combined with a lack of recency of experience was a threat we didn't identify properly.  Plus in past experiences if a potential landing weight concern exists; Dispatchers have highlighted this threat as a note in the OFP.
After arrival to the gate we received an overweight landing message. After reviewing our ZFW and fuel load we determined that we landed approximately 200 lbs over max landing weight. After discussion between the CA and I we agreed a lack of CRM was the ultimate cause of the deviation. My thought process was as follows:Our flight from ZZZ to ZZZ1 was planned to land almost 1;000 lbs below MLW. As part of my pre-flight planning I always note the spread between both takeoff and landing weight verses the maximum values. A 1;000 lbs gap on landing did not stand out to me as something I would need to worry about. During our flight to ZZZ1 we received a number of shortcuts that shortened our route; and early in the flight we were certainly heavy on the fuel. However; as we neared the top of descent our fuel number vs the HOWGOZIT had dropped and was just several hundred pounds heavy.When requesting the landing data our FMC wt was about 3;000 lbs over MLW; and while it mentally recognized this; I did not verbalize it to make sure the CA was also aware (again in my mind I was not thinking landing weight was going to be an issue). I also did not mention our weight as a potential threat during my arrival briefing.
