What does the weighing scale we use in our homes actually measures? As weight should be in Newton and it measures in Kilograms so does it measures our mass ? Why we say that our weight is x Kilograms when we should say the weight is x Newtons , it is too confusing for me .

Mass has no unit and it represents the amount of material in something.
Weight of an object is the force acting on it due to gravity and is defined as mass * force of gravity. And on earth we use lbs, kg, stone, etc. But you could also use newtons.
Newtons is a force where 1 newton is the force required to accelerate 1 kg by 1 m/s/s.
