as she said, such big beings shouldn't be able to stand at the very first place. A lighter density explains this, even when they're alive. My immediate rebuttal is that when Eren was rampaging through Trost after he first transformed, we found out that

Eren's titan is probably heavy with muscle mass Eren was able to throw a titan into a building hard enough to crumble it (which I hope is enough to convince you they are pretty heavy) Pure titans were able to cause significant amounts of damage to the headquarters building in Trost using brute strength alone, and, after Eren attacked them, they hit the ground hard enough to leave a skid mark

At the Utgard Castle, pure titans from Ragako were also able to survive a castle falling on top of them (albeit unscathed), something I think has to do with being hardier than a brick castle Well, a think that we shouldn't forget : Isayama isn't a a PhD doctor (I'm not saying he has no scientific knowledge, far from that), and he probably wasn't thinking about laws of physics every time something related to the Titan happens... He would have met too much problems if he did.

Of course, we might face inconsistencies with the Titans density. The official thing is : Titans are lighter than they should be (doesn't mean they are really light, Eren's Titan can still be heavy while being lighter than its appearance suggests).

The attack on Lago is an inconsistency that probably most have to do with the fact that floating Titan would look ridiculous. About the battle at Utgard, I suppose it's because only their nape was hit, and, as the crushed ones were small, regeneration was faster. Eventually, I think that sometime their strenght might be inconsistent with their light density.
