A newton is the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram by one meter per second squared.
Better stick with pounds or kilograms

In everyday layman terms, weight is either measured in pounds or kilograms.
But in scientific terms, weight is the force exerted by gravity on a body. So it is measured in Newtons which is the unit for force.
And in scientific terms, pound and kilograms are units of mass.
So it depend on whether you are talking in everyday layman terms or in a scientific study.

Newtons.
But be careful because in America we use the Fig Newton system while in Canada they use the Strawberry Newton system.
