No, air is more dense because it contains 20% oxygen, the heavier element than nitrogen (32 g/mol O2, i.s.o. 28 g/mol N2).

Does nitrogen weigh more than air?

No. Nitrogen is slightly less dens than air. The density of a gas is directly proportional to its molecular mass. Dry air is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen. Nitrogen has a molecular mass of 28 AMU. Oxygen has a molecular mass of 32 AMU. This makes air just a bit denser than pure nitrogen.
