Density is related to both weight and volume, so you have to take both into account. If you have only a small amount of dense material it could still be light, and conversely if you have a lot of material that isn't dense it could still weigh a lot. For example, lead is pretty dense but if you only have a pinhead-sized dot of it, it wouldn't be heavy. Feathers aren't dense, but if you have enough to fill a railroad car their total weight would be significant.

When an object is heavier does that mean the object is more dense than other objects?

Not necessarily. The weight of an object is determined by its mass and the force of gravity acting on it, while density is a measure of how much mass is packed into a given volume. An object can be heavy without being dense if it has a large volume.
