Replacing Suspended Fork for Rigid on Giant Roam 0

Is it possible to replace the Suntour SR suspended fork on my Giant Roam 0 with a Rigid fork ?

Would I notice the benefits of weight loss by using a rigid fork, especially when going uphill ?

The existing fork I believe is a SR Suntour NCX-D lock out, 63mm Travel. Given that the majority of cycling I do is Tarmac cycle paths or packed gravel paths I'm not finding the suspension fork much use to me. I bought the bike used and in fantastic condition so was lucky to have it at such a good price. I've done approaching 250 miles on it now but would be willing to replace the suspended fork if I would notice the benefits.

If it can be done, any suggestions regarding type, make and model of rigid fork would be appreciated.

Thanks again.
