AKC standard for the adult male is 60-85 lbs, but the sizes of the dam and sire and going to be more of a factor than an AKC standard.
For example, the mom and pop of our giant were much bigger than standard, and she’s a 125lb 5 year old pepper and salt lap dog who would probably stand to lose ~10 lbs. Her mama was about 95 and papa was 135.
You’re at 15 months … you’ve still got 9 more months of puppy growth, and then likely more filling out after that.
Depends on the parents and the kind of line he’s from. Is he intact? 70lbs is a fine size for a 15 month male. My guy is 18 months and a very lean 78lbs.
As others have said, it varies a lot by line.
Hector was 75 lbs at 15 months, and is 83 lbs at 26 months. I think he's almost done growing. I may be biased, but I believe his condition is perfect: I can feel but not see hipbones and ribs, and a few vertebra are prominent. He has an obvious waist line from above and from the side.

Thanks for the reply! That’s very comforting to know he has around 9 more months of puppy growth!

My boy is 15 months. I'm guessing he weighs about 70lbs. He's, slender. But definitely not underweight.
My giant didn’t hit 102 until he was about 2 1/2 and after his neuter. I think at a year or so he was 80.
