I was going to respond to this, but LOWDOWN covered it perfectly above. Gen 6 will most definitely NOT gain weight simply because it is going on Alpha, and if it shrinks in size (like some sources suggest) it could lose a fairly significan't amount of weight.
The Cadillac CTS went up in size, but yet lost weight when you compare N/A V6 trims because of the move to Alpha. That includes all the new regulations you speak of applied to the new car.

Now, let's hear more details about the LGX. Is it going to have cylinder deactivation? Will it really be 3.6L? Any changes to the heads? There seems to be very little information available on this engine if they already have test mules using it.

Yes...I want know know more on this engine, but there is nothing out there!
