Answer
If someone says their "weight is 60 kg," they actually mean their mass is 60 kg. The kilogram measures mass, not weight. Your actual weight in scientific terms would be 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 588 newtons. In everyday language, when people discuss body weight in kilograms, they're referring to mass.
