There are only 3 variables. Your mass, the mass of the planet or moon that you are on, and the diameter of that planet or moon. You can then mathematically determine your weight in accordance with Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.

Weight is determined by the gravitational force acting on an object. On different planets or moons, the strength of gravity varies, which impacts an object's weight. Your mass remains the same regardless of the location, but your weight changes based on the gravitational pull of the celestial body you are on.
