In general trying to lighten a bicycle isn't particularly cost effective. Bike parts are much more expensive bought piecemeal than bought as a complete bike. But is you insist the best way to go about is is to dissassemble your bike, weigh the parts (seat post, saddle, cranks, forks etc etc) and then replace them one by one with lighter parts.
Start by removing reflectors and any other non needed so called safety features. start by ordering parts like new front and rear wheels. then you can move up to a handlebars. a good site to find all these parts is Danscomp.com. they have all that you will need and can ever wish to do to your bike.

As a general rule if two bikes are in the same price range, the smaller of the two will be lighter. This because there is less material used in the smaller BMX due to it's much simpler construction.

A true race bike is probably lighter, and may have another brake set up than a "normal" BMX. also you might have different parts that make the bike itself heavier, like if you are comparing a street or dirt bike to a race bike the back rim on the street/dirt bike the axle is going to 14mm instead of 3/8 axle, but other than that theres really nothing but gearing
