The weight is the mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity. When weighing an object by a balance the acceleration of gravity is on both sides of weighing and hence canceling its effect and hence you get the object mass (not the weight)..

Weighing by difference?
I'm not sure what you mean, but weighing by difference is when you:Take the weight of an empty container, fill the container with a substance.Take the weight of the container holding the substance.Subtract the empty container's mass from the mass of the container and the substance.You will then get the mass of the substance.The result is what is called the "Tare" weight. That is the weight of the contents ONLY .And that would not be the mass of the substance,,,it would be the weight. Mass is a determination of how much space is taken up by the substance.
