I would use "45 pounds", it really doesn't matter for me will ddg convert them into grams or kilograms or metric tons, I can read any of them.

But I tried "45 lb", and it works as the pound. I hadn't thought that "lb" is the pound. I mean I saw this abbreviation, and probably converted it into metric units, but didn't notice that "lb" == "pound". Seems like a crazy way to abbreviate.
