The average American is already way over the "flight weight" - see https://unitedafa.org/news/2021/6/10/heavier-passengers-on-p...

Some planes have weighing systems built into the landing gear but most passenger flights are WAY under max weight (Airbus can tell the pilots if the weight/balance once underway doesn't match what the computer was told).
