Weight/weigh

His wife's weight is 50kg. - correct use of weight as a noun subject.
She weights 50kg. - wrong usage of weights as a verb because "weight" is a noun and not a verb. Its verb is 'weigh'. Correct way of writing this sentence is:
She weighs 50kg. (weigh + s for third person singular.)

His wife's weight is 50kg
She weighs 50kg

"weight" is also a verb, but it is not used in that way.

weight (verb) - to make something heavier by putting a weight on it, especially in order to stop it from moving
He had weighted the bag with rocks.

Both "weighted (adj.)" and "weighting (noun)" are derived from the verb "weight".

Weight (重,重量,體重,砝碼,重擔) is normally used as a noun whereas "weigh" is only used as a verb.
