I've never worried about a character's weight, since I typically write a paragraph or two regarding character appearance, including body type. While I can appreciate going for accuracy, specific weight is one of those things that probably won't really help someone get an accurate guage for visualizing a character as opposed to saying "They have a thin athlete body" or "They're slightly overweight" or "This creature of a slob makes Jabba the Hutt look like a Jenny Craig spokesperson"... you get the idea.I mean, when you play a game or watch a movie or show, you rarely are told specific measurements of a character. It's in reality a small detail. In books, honestly in a lot of them I've seen less print devoted to describing a character than a lot of character sheets on this site. A part of the fun is imagining.

I don't disagree, but some people like to establish heights and weights for their characters (I personally only bother when a CS asks for it). And even if you don't use a specific height / weight, the site can still help because it shows you visuals. That can help with description. If you can't think of another way to describe a pear shaped body, browse the pear shaped bodies until something clicks. 

There are lots of way to use the resources around you--don't just take my suggestions, haha.
