Could someone weight their scuba diving undersuit (one used with a drysuit), the total weight of the undersuit is what I need. Thank you

Do I understand here that you want to know how much a drysuit thermal weighs as in the "long johns" we wear under our dry suits? Not much, many are around a kilo. A lot depends on the manufacturer.

It also depends on the water temperature.
If I wear my drysuit in 65F water, it might be the weight of some sweat pants and a sweat shirt. If the temperature is 39F, then there will be a few more layer.
I would put the weight range from 3 lbs to 10 lbs.

Not sure what you are asking. Do you want to know just the weight of the undergarment, or do you want to know how much weight is needed to compensate for the undergarment buoyancy?
The answer to either question depends on the type of undergarment. I use a one-piece polyester fleece pile, but there are other styles and materials which will have different characteristics.
FYI - my undergarment weighs just over 3 pounds.
