Sulphur because it absorbs oxygen. You will have to google and look this up for yourself for further information.
Also, hydrogen, perhaps. Burn it to get water.
EVERYTHING gets heavier when it burns because oxygen adds on to the fuel.

Alternatively, you could say NOTHING gets heavier because the total mass of the ingredients (including the oxygen) = total mass of the products.
