Using this food reference

The onion values describe raw onion. The chopped-cup comparison belongs to this raw record and is different from a medium-onion or thin-slice household measure.

Cooking can change water content, while frying adds a separate fat source. Use an appropriate cooked record or recipe calculation instead of assuming cooked onion weighs and measures like raw onion.

Match the food before using the numbers

The selected USDA description is Onions, raw. Preparation, water loss, added oil, salt, edible skin, product formulation, and measured portion can change the nutrition of the food you actually eat.
