Neanderthals are surprisingly lightweight for modern standards,they don't seem to shoot over 80kg/180lbs

EMHs were straight out featherweight

If you take Neanderthal height into account then you'll see they were quite heavy.

Neanderthals are overrated. The average American man weighs considerably more

Yes, the Neanderthals were roughly the same height as the European AMH, giving them a body mass index above that of modern Americans. The Western European Neanderthals were 15 pounds lighter than Franco Columbu.

Pelvis 1 from Sima de los Huesos had an estimated bodymass of over 95kg

Neanderthals have a higher bodymass, however. They were shorter and more broadly built than modern Americans.

Seemingly lower sexual dimorphism compared to modern norms, artifacts depicting a BBW of an Eve(eg Venus figurines) confirmed true? These figurines also display abnormally wide hips/waist, wondering if the ways of Paleolithic pregnancy had an effect.
