There is such a huge range. There is one boy in my son's class who only weighs 26 lbs; my son weighs 44 lbs and is 44" tall. He is one of the tallest. Many of his friends are in the 42-44" range and 38-45 lbs, but we definitely know a bunch that are smaller.

At 4 years old, my son was 44" tall.
Forget his exact weight, but his weight percentile was about 55%.
Tall lean boy.

My son is 5 now recently, and he is 48" tall. And if I recall I think his weight was about 50 lbs.

4 years old is when their height and weight are virtually the same. Usually
about 40 inches, 40 lbs. but of course that varies.

My son turns 4 next week. He won't have his check-up until after his birthday but I'm expecting him to chart at 37" and 31 lbs.

I think he was a touch over 36" this summer (as measured by the rides at the boardwalk!) and his pants are shorter so either he grew since then or they shrunk. Both are possible. For his weight, he was about 31.5 lbs the last time we went to the doc for an ear infection and that was with his clothes on.

My son will be 4 in 2 weeks. Last month when he was seen he weighed 32lbs and was about 36 inches.

Funny thing is my 2 yr old is 31 lbs and about 34 inches tall. Don't know the percentages for my 4 yr old until his well baby visit. He could just be on the smaller side, which until he turned 3 he was always below the 25th.

EDIT: found this chart as well HTH
