So like the title says, my max carry weight gets reduced when I enter my Botherhood of Steel Power Armor. My strength pre-power armor equip is a 7, after I put the power armor on it goes up to a 12…..But my max carry weight actually decrease by a decent amount instead of increasing as it should. My carry weight goes from 480 to 472, THAT'S A WHOLE GUN! Is there some kind of variable that once it hits a threshold it decreases instead of increases?

The only thing I can think of is that if you are wearing a lot of "Pocketed" armor pieces before you start using Power Armor, you would be giving up the extra carrying capacity that the Pocketed mod offers (30 total if you have both arms, both legs, and chest pieces "Pocketed"). But the increase in carrying capacity due to the Power Armor strength upgrade should outweigh that. Perhaps the strength boost from Power Armor doesn't affect encumbrance the same way it would if you were to add a SPECIAL point to strength?
