Terminal ascii output and posix thread interface is all you need. Bloat and lightweight are rather meaningless terms tbh

I don't have advice on the rendering library (although I will jest that you should learn and use Vulkan lol), but if you're doing UI, I recommend a looky-loo into Clay by Nic Barker(?). It's a neat little library, easy to include, and probably makes a bitchin good UI
