I just got my first ball python and he's 4 months old and he eats very well so i was just wondering about how much should he weigh.

It's hard to give an estimated weight since they can be fed at different rates. For example, if you would want your snake to mature faster, you would feed it more often to rapidly put on weight. As long as he increases in weight that's all that matters imo.

Weight is a number that has many variable such as weight out of the egg, how fast the animal was started, prey size, feeding frequency, missed meals etc
Bottom line he should look healthy it's not about a number or comparing your animal's size with others.
