mass is constant, usually refers to the amount of matter. weight=mg where m=mass and g=gravity
mass doesn't change whether you are on earth, the moon or on saturn. weight is dependent on the amount of force exerted by gravity.
Mass is a measure of inertia. Weight is a particular type of force that acts on mass due to gravity.
