You don't even have to hit the metal studs with something that light.
You can use a plastic anchor right into the drywall. I like the ones
that have a trident shaped point and drill into the drywall, then the
screw is screwed into the plastic drill-in anchor (don't hit studs
with these). There are plenty of people that would simply use a nail
driven at an incline into the drywall and call it good. Whether you
should do that or not would depend on the value of what you were
hanging.

A simple finishing nail driven into the drywall ought to hold three pounds.
