Answer:
70 kg is your mass. Unfortunately, common language we employ says that we ‘weigh’ 70 kg, and so we get confused between mass and weight.
The reading of a mass scales is actually a reading of mass based on the force you have exerted on the scales.
The scales have taken the weight as a force in Newtons and divided it by the constant of acceleration due to gravity to give you a final mass reading.
Thus one should more accurately say that you mass 70 kg, and weigh 70 x g newtons.
