I think 1 ton + 1 or 2 lurikeens, depends on when it last ate.

Well since the "troll" you see is a projection of photons emitted by the display you are currently using, I would say it weighs about .0000001 ounces.

A troll on your monitor? Surely that would break it? 'Cos they weighs a bit I'm sure.

approximate 13 megatons..

the female version maybe more as some hills seem to arise and add roughly 1 megaton each

they might fall off due to saggyness in later years of their life, reducing the weight by 2/3rds

Finally, on to the trolls, the biggest boff of all. Consider the trolls to have roughly the same build as the orks, plus another 10 percent for increased muscle mass, for a BC of 1.15. FASA height: 2.8 m (9'2"). Expected weight: 891 lbs, or 404 kg. FASA weight: 225 kg, which would give the average troll a BC of .64 -- as svelte as a supermodel! And our BC of 1.15 is generously low, considering that all that weight on a troll's frame would probably give him crippling arthritis by age 18.

It might also be worthwhile to ask whether trolls really need to be an average of 9 feet tall! I can see the tallest trolls approaching 9 feet, but I think a more realistic (as if any of this has anything to do with realism) average figure would be around 8 feet, if not less. In this case, unlike with the dwarves, I'm more inclined to go with FASA's estimated weight and calculate a new height from that, rather deduce weight from height. Sticking with the 1.15 BC, we get an average height of 7'7", or 2.3 m. Much better!
