In theory, if you just wanted to lose weight you could go into orbit around the Earth and become weightless. In practice, that is not such an easy thing to do. Nonetheless, what we really lose by dieting is mass. Mass has a certain weight here on the surface of planet Earth, but weight does depend on location, and mass doesn't.

Would your mass change after you run?

Mass, being the total amount of matter in an object, would change when you run, because you sweat when you run.

If gravity increased then your weight will?

When gravity increases, weight also increases. Unlike mass, weight depends on gravity. The moon has 1/6 the gravity of the Earth, so if you want to lose weight instantly, you could theoretically stay on the moon. However, what many people want to lose is mass.
