The error in the given sentence is that of verb 'weigh'. The correct sentence should be written as shown below:
Today she weighs twenty one - stone.
The tense of the verb in the sentence should be Simple Present.
We use the present simple for
•states, things staying the same, facts and things that are true for a long time: We live quite near
• repeated actions: We come here every week.
In Simple Present Tense we use base form of a verb. When the subject is singular, we add -s/es with the base form of the verb (V1+s/es) In the given sentence, the subject is 'She' and the verb is 'weighs'.
