Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) with masses below ($2 \times 10^5 M_{\odot}$) are key to understanding the origin and growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in galactic nuclei. This study focuses on the search for and detailed analysis of central lightweight black holes in various galaxies. An extended sample of IMBH candidates was selected from the RCSED optical spectral catalog, followed by refined spectral observations using large telescopes, including the Magellan, SALT, Keck, and CMO telescopes. Analysis of more than 70 spectra has obtained accurate virial masses, stellar population parameters, and kinematics. One significant result includes the detection of a binary black hole system with masses of ($1.7 \times 10^5 M_{\odot})$ and $(1.4 \times 10^6 M_{\odot}$). Our results indicate that IMBHs and their low-mass SMBH counterparts do not necessarily co-evolve with their host galaxies, suggesting that super-Eddington accretion is the dominant growth mechanism. This research improves the precision of virial mass estimates and provides new insights into the $M_{\rm BH} - \sigma_{\rm bulge}$ bulge relation, with potential implications for future high-redshift SMBH observations using next-generation facilities.
