Weight on Mars for a 90lb person: 34.05lbs

Weight on Mars : Weight On Earth/91.8m/s^2 • 3.711m/s

Earths Force : 91.8m/s^2

Mars Gravitational Force : 3.711m/s

So an object or person on Mars would weigh 37.83% its weight on earth. Therefore, a person would be much lighter on mars. A person is about 62.17% heavier on earth than on Mars.
