Your weight and your mass are 2 completely different things.
Mass is measured in kg (kilograms) in the metric system and never changes no matter where you are in the universe. If your mass is 2.5 kg on earth it is also 2.5 kg on the moon, on Jupiter, in a black hole, etc....
Your weight, however, will change depending on how close you are to the centre of gravity. For example, you weigh more at sea level than you do on a mountain top or in a hot air balloon because at sea level you are closer to the earth's core - the source of gravity. You weigh 1/6 less on the moon because it's gravitation pull is 1/6 less.
In terms of actual #'s, if you weigh 130 lbs on earth at your location, and every kg = 2.2 lbs than your mass is 59.09 kg.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

130 lbs mass
unless you live on a mountain top or way below sea level
your mass never changes
but your weight changes according to gravity
so your mass on the moon would be 130 lbs
but your weight would be 130/6 lbs (21.7 lbs)

In what system of units?
Mass is measured in kilograms for the SI system and in slugs for the English system. Using the English system:
16 lb = 1 slug
You have a mass of 8.125 slugs.

W = mg
weight=mass*gravity
mass=weight/gravity
