A full suit of armor is actually lighter than a typical person. Knights were expected to be somewhat mobile in full armor, including swimming across moats if necessary. As such, a full suit of armor is something like 55 lbs, most of it being the helmet (the head is the most important part of the body).
There's a good chance that Al weighed more as a human kid than as a suit of armor.

This is a good piece of information actually. Thank you!

That and the armor looks like its also weighty to be able to withstand about a single blow from an impact weapon before the plate starts crumpling.
I really hope that Al kept that suit tbh since it became his sort of second body

About that, there's actually an special bonus chapter of the manga which shows what Al decided to do with his armor. SPOILER: you might cry. I know I did.
