I always sweat a fair amount on the treadmill if I'm running fast, but is this normal? I did an easy 2 mile jog warmup where I barely sweated, then 5x mile at tempo. Aerobically it felt smooth but my shirt and half tights were soaked at the end. Weighed myself and lost 4 pounds of sweat.
sure
I always sweat a lot more on the treadmill than outside. There's usually no airflow. I would say it's normal.
Pretty much always 3.5 to 4 pounds lost for me when I run on a mill for an hour.
Not a treadmill runner, but I would loose about 4 lbs on a long run in Mississippi in summer...
I'm surprised you didn't lose more.
Get a fan and you'll dramatically reduce your sweat rate.

That is why I think running on the treadmill is harder. You sweat so much more then outside. It is like literally I'm melting

That you for letting us know you don’t know what evaporation is.
Normal enough. Do you have a good fan? Chances are your HR could've been well above tempo effort & that this workout was quite a bit harder than planned.
In the 60s, Detroit Tiger's catcher Bill Freehan lost 12 pounds catching an August double header. Freehan, an All-Star, was a lineman at U of Michigan before signing with the Tigers !

If you want to go to different things, how about chess grandmasters averaging 10-12 lb weight loss over the course of a tournament?
But for OP: yes, I’ve experienced the same, if not quite that much for every workout of the same duration and intensity.
