Hi,excuse me, sorry to bother you but my 4.75 month old veiled male chameleon weighs 100 grams is this large? He is 6 inches snout to vent legth. Also it is hard to weigh him while he is moving so I place a tray on the scales zero it out and when he is on the tray record the highest reading without touching the scales is this correct?

A quick search in the forums showed several other keepers of male veileds weight close to if not more than 100 grams at this age. I'm not a professional, and I'm actually quite new, but wanted to help give you a response since you seemed very eager for one. Perhaps just search the question in the forums. There were a lot of threads discussing weight. I didn't have time to go through every response, and there may be better more detailed information for you.
I searched it and every chameleon seemed way smaller
Yeah but mine is 4 months old every other Cham his age but one is about 50g

Weight alone doesnt mean all that much, imho. You have to take into account the animal's frame, as well! My Lily, a female panther, is barely 58g. On some Panthers, that'd be markedly underweight! However, because of Lily's petite figure she's borderline obese and I'm very carefully monitoring her food intake.
So, we'd need pictures to tell you how he looks.

The one above talks a lot about the weight of a male around your Chams age. I can try to find a few more. Hope it helps.
I'd be more concerned with the health/look of your chameleon than its weight. They are like people and all other animals...they vary in size...genes affect size and lots of other things. We're asking for the photo so we can see his overall look and health.
Growing big fast isn't necessarily a good thing either because if they don't get all the nutrients they need they can develop health issue from the fast growth in captivity.
