OK,
I assume that you are serious...

The "Tare" weight is the weight of the cylinder when it is empty.
(12-7.5=4.5 Kg currently in the cylinder)

How much the cylinder can safely contain is marked on the cylinder, no magic formula just plain text. Like [MAX FILL 9.5 Kg] for example if you are looking at a reclaim cylinder, otherwise there will be max weights for individual gasses stamped somewhere on the cylinder, normally on the collar that protect the valve.
