Answer:

So mass is the amount of matter in an object, but weight is the amount of force that is being applied to your body from gravity.

Mass does not change unless you change your person like your haircut, fingernail length, ect.

Weight changes depending on your mass, because the heavier you are, the stronger the gravitational pull on your person will be, which increases your weight.

That is why if you go onto the moon, for example, your weight is different, since the gravitational pull is weaker than on Earth, so you weigh less.
