Conti Grand Prix TT tyres with Supersonic inner tubes. Get rid of the out front Garmin mount and use the regular on stem mount. Ditch the tool kit in the bottle cage and just take the necessities in your pocket. Spending a bit more, speedplay pedals.

Keep your tires - just get latex inner tubes. Shaving weight with tires is almost invariably met with more punctures. The Supersonic is light because it has no puncture protection. It's also slower.
My top budget recommendations for you would be:
Latex tubes
Alligator ilinks or Nikon housing
Lighter steerer expander (tune or Extralite)
Deda bar tape
Lighter pedals
That should definitely get you down 150g

The next might go for bar tape since I use Supacaz bar tape, it’s weight around 95.
Thanks
