Yeah, this was the major issue with the Ant-man movies.
The concept was given to us that their science shrinks the empty space between the atoms, therefor he keeps the same mass, even though he's tiny. Therefor he can make a flying punch on a regular-sized person and hit with all the force of his muscles and his mass.
Okay, fine, if that's the explanation they're going with, let's not even bother debating how possible that is.
The issue is inconsistency. If his mass remains the same, he can't ride on the back of an ant; the ant would be immediately crushed. Ditto for anything else he stood on while tiny.
