Wasn't the max weight for females around 60 kgs? Why can't I find  any records of female leopards being above 46 kgs actually? Is everyone interested just in weighing big males?

Male leopards vary more in weight than females because of sexual dimorphism. Adult females weigh 25kg-60kg no matter the subspecies but this is not the case for males. An example are leopards in Kenya; males from Tsavo National Park weighing 70kg were considered big whereas in the Kenyan highlands they would be mediocre-sized:

Here's a chart of Persian leopard body weights including 6 adult females. There are at least 2 females weighing 60kg or more.
