Weight can vary depending on gravitational attraction, but mass is constant.

The weighing machine shows us the 'weight'.
'weight' is actually the 'force' that we are exerting on the groung or the machine and that is equal to mass times the gravitation.
As the gravitational force on moon is 6 times lesser, we will be 6 times lighter on moon.
So, the mass of your body is less than your body weight.
In space, there is no gravity. So, weight = (body mass x gravity)
= body mass x 0 = 0. So, we feel weightlessness.
