So my male leopard gecko milkey is about a year old, and weighs about 100 grams, and is around 9 inches, do you think he is classified as giant?- he is a blizzard I think btw

Just because a Leopard Gecko goes over 100 grams in weight, does not mean it is a Giant. Without knowing the history of your gecko there’s no way for us to answer that. We would need to know the parent’s genetics. The trait is an incomplete dominant, so it’s also not guaranteed to pass down even if both parents were giants.
IIRC, your male is pretty hefty already, which is not typical in a giant of a year old. They usually don’t put on weight until after that.
Back before giants were even available I had a female at 100g. Some geckos are just bigger.
