Yes, I guess weight is similar once you have accounted for sealant, and unlikely to be a primary reason for switching to tubeless.

Consider the Schwalbe 'Pro' range:
- For a 28c tubeless (i.e. Pro One) it's 2 x 275g = 550g
- For a 28c 'normal' + tubes (i.e. Pro) it's 2 x (245g + 105g) = 700g
I imagine that sealant would use up some of that 150g difference.

sealant is about 100 grams for road tires.

Stans produces Schwalbe Doc Blue Professional.

This page says

Dose: 60 ml/tyre (Race bike 30 ml)

So how dense is sealant?

Try using a bit less 🙂
I weighed my 25C Pro One installation complete with double tape, valves and a generous portion of sealant and it still only came to 80g for the pair over the raw tyre weight.
