Nowhere does it say it weighs less for the finished product in the description. "Light" doesn't give any numbers or operations to apply to reduce it, so it's flavor.
If thats the case someone really ought to remove the idiotic word "light" from the description
That's how it's written in the book, so there's absolutely no chance they'll change it on the website as long as it remains that way. And as a descriptor, it can be used to explain why some types can be worn under clothes. Don't mix up mechanical benefits with descriptors and you'll be fine.
From 2024 dmg: "Mithral is a light, flexible metal. A mithral chain shirt or breastplate can be worn under normal clothes.
If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks or has a Strength requirement, the mithral version of the armor doesn't."
Add mithral plate to inventory of dndbeyond.
Exact same weight as mundane plate: 65 pounds.
Bug in website?

Hmm... i found some info online that points to dmg page 182 as showing mithral armor being half the weight of equivalent steel armor.
I think its an older version of 2014 rules. My 2014 book is a newer copy. And its not in 2024 book either.
Thats a pain
I don't see it in mine either, and for what it's worth, it's not listed as ever receiving errata: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/sae/dungeon-masters-guide-2014
