but
just because and object my have low density it still my have a lot of gravity if the object is huge
jupiter is hella large even though it has low density it still havs the mass to have the large gravity becuse it is so big
to make this simple for u just imagine i have 2 rocks that have the same mass. 1 rock is a large boulder and the other is a small pebble. since i said that they have the same mass they have the same gravitational pull. but for them to have the sme mass it means that the pebble would be very very dense will the boulder would have a low density. which would explain y jupiter has a high gravitational pull.
a side note would be that the gravitational pull actually depends on the to objects that are pulling on each other
