Lightweight, IMHO, implies no syntax highlighting for a start. That is bloat to me: I edit text, not code.
By far the lightest macOS text editor I've found is TextEd by Jeena:
https://github.com/jeena/TextEd.app/releases https://github.com/jeena/TextEd.app/releases
It starts virtually instantly, and all it does is plain text. No other formats, no highlighting, nothing. Which is all I need.
Less is more.
