There is nothing "Dwarf" about Dwarf lops. They usually are around the 2.4kg mark, but this varies. You could find larger or smaller ones
Mini lops are generally around 1.3kg-1.8ish(?) "Pure bred" ones have very snubby little noses giving their head a "cobby" look. Of course there are long nosed DL and ML!

My Dwarf Lop weighs in at 3.3kg. She is a big girl and her breeding is actually unknown (maybe she is part French Lop)!

I have a dwarf lop and a mini lop. My dwarf lop is a lot bigger and has a pointier face. My mini lop has a small swished face.

Mini Lops are the smallest of the lop breeds and also come with mane and long haired variations (mini lion lop and mini cashmere lop), they have the dwarf gene
Dwarf Lops are the second smallest of the lop breeds and don't actually have the dwarf gene
Although it depends on where you live, I think in Sweden it's backwards and in America the breeds are different too
