Hey mate!!!
Here is your answer;
The Earth is actually not spherical but geoid, ie. Flattened at the poles. And also the radius at its equator is greater than its radius at the poles. Therefore the value of the Acceleration due to gravitation is greater at the equator. Therefore the weight of an object always changes when it moves from the pole to the equator...
