Weight is a force, and can be described in terms of any unit of force.
The basic unit of force in the Metric system is the "Newton".
If you were fishing for "kilogram", you used the wrong bait. Although it's true that
16 out of every 19 people will use the kilogram to describe weight, it's still wrong.
The metric unit used to measure weight is the kilogram (kg).
You would use the metric unit "kilograms" to measure the weight of a bag of groceries.
You would use the metric unit "kilograms" to measure the weight of a sack of peaches.
A gram would be an appropriate measure for its mass.
The metric unit for measuring human weight is actually the Newton (N). Newton's are a measure of force and weight is the product of the acceleration of gravity and an objects mass. The metric unit for measuring human mass is the kilogram (kg).

Yes, kilograms is a metric unit of measurement used for expressing mass. It is commonly used to measure the weight of objects in the metric system.
Weight is a measure of the force exerted on a body by gravity. It can be measured in any recognized unit, either metric or old fashioned.
