    We report the discovery and characterization of three giant exoplanets orbiting solar-analog stars, detected by the TESS space mission and confirmed through ground-based photometry and radial velocity measurements taken at La Silla observatory with FEROS. TOI-2373 b is a warm Jupiter orbiting its host star every ∼13.3 days, and is one of the most massive known exoplanet with a precisely determined mass and radius around a star similar to the Sun, with an estimated mass of m _p = 9.30.2+0.2Mjup{9.3}_{-0.2}^{+0.2}\,{M}_{\mathrm{jup}} and a radius of r _p = 0.930.2+0.2Rjup{0.93}_{-0.2}^{+0.2}\,{R}_{\mathrm{jup}} . With a mean density of ρ=14.41.0+0.9gcm3\rho ={14.4}_{-1.0}^{+0.9}\,{\rm{g}}\,{\mathrm{cm}}^{-3} , TOI-2373 b is among the densest planets discovered so far. TOI-2416 b orbits its host star on a moderately eccentric orbit with a period of ∼8.3 days and an eccentricity of e = 0.320.02+0.02{0.32}_{-0.02}^{+0.02} . TOI-2416 b is more massive than Jupiter with m _p = 3.00.09+0.10Mjup{3.0}_{-0.09}^{+0.10}\,{M}_{\mathrm{jup}} , however is significantly smaller with a radius of r _p = 0.880.02+0.02,Rjup{0.88}_{-0.02}^{+0.02},{R}_{\mathrm{jup}} , leading to a high mean density of ρ=5.40.3+0.3gcm3\rho ={5.4}_{-0.3}^{+0.3}\,{\rm{g}}\,{\mathrm{cm}}^{-3} . TOI-2524 b is a warm Jupiter near the hot Jupiter transition region, orbiting its star every ∼7.2 days on a circular orbit. It is less massive than Jupiter with a mass of m _p = 0.640.04+0.04Mjup{0.64}_{-0.04}^{+0.04}\,{M}_{\mathrm{jup}} , and is consistent with an inflated radius of r _p = 1.000.03+0.02Rjup{1.00}_{-0.03}^{+0.02}\,{R}_{\mathrm{jup}} , leading to a low mean density of ρ=0.790.08+0.08gcm3\rho ={0.79}_{-0.08}^{+0.08}\,{\rm{g}}\,{\mathrm{cm}}^{-3} . The newly discovered exoplanets TOI-2373 b, TOI-2416 b, and TOI-2524 b have estimated equilibrium temperatures of 86010+10{860}_{-10}^{+10} K, 108010+10{1080}_{-10}^{+10} K, and 110020+20{1100}_{-20}^{+20} K, respectively, placing them in the sparsely populated transition zone between hot and warm Jupiters
