No, a gorilla does not weigh more than a lion. An adult male gorilla can weigh 310-440 pounds, with 500 the maximum in the wild and 600 for an overweight one in captivity. An adult male lion can weigh 330-500 pounds with an average of 410. So it is very close but a lion is heavier on average.

Yeah. Fully mature adult gorillas can be 500lbs. Lions do not get that big. Now, tigers, they can match the girth of a gorilla.
