The weight of an airplane is calculated by the pilots. The pilot takes the empty weight of the aircraft, adds the fuel, adds a standard weight for each passenger and the measured weight of all the baggage. If this weight is over the maximum allowed weight, the airplane is overweight and they will send some luggage on another flight.

What is a commercial airplane?

A commercial airplane is an airplane that is being used in commercial service--where people are paying for the plane to be flown. ANY plane can be a commercial airplane; if you've got a business picking up X-rays from small airports then flying them to Rochester International Airport in Minnesota so a doctor from the Mayo Clinic can review them, and you use the cheapest Cessna you can get your hands on to do it, that Cessna is a commercial airplane. Having said that, usually "commercial airplane" means one that's large enough to carry many passengers or a lot of cargo.
