contents As part of the KESPRINT collaboration, we present the discovery and characterization of three exoplanets in the sub-Neptune to super-Neptune regime, spanning key regions of the exo-Neptunian landscape. TOI-1472c and TOI-1648b are newly discovered sub-Neptunes, while TOI-1472b is a previously known super-Neptune for which we provide an improved mass measurement. These planets have orbital periods of 6--15 days and radii of 2.5--4.1 R$_\oplus$, probing regions where planet formation and atmospheric evolution remain poorly understood. We combine TESS transit photometry with ground-based radial velocities to determine precise masses, radii, and orbital properties. TOI-1472b has a mass of $18.0^{+0.84}_{-0.85}$ M$_\oplus$ and a radius of $4.06 \pm 0.10$ R$_\oplus$, TOI-1472c has a mass of $21.1^{+0.96}_{-0.99}$ M$_\oplus$ and a radius of $3.33 \pm 0.08$ R$_\oplus$, and TOI-1648b has a mass of $7.4^{+1.1}_{-1.3}$ M$_\oplus$ and a radius of $2.54^{+0.14}_{-0.12}$ R$_\oplus$. The planets exhibit a range of eccentricities (0.041--0.178), indicating diverse evolutionary histories. TOI-1648b, with a high Transmission Spectroscopy Metric (TSM $\sim$59), is a promising target for atmospheric characterization. Together, these three planets provide precise constraints on the structure, composition, and dynamical evolution of small to intermediate-sized exoplanets, enriching our understanding of the exo-Neptunian landscape.

TOI-1472c and TOI-1648b are newly discovered sub-Neptunes, while TOI-1472b is a previously known super-Neptune for which we provide an improved mass measurement.
