Gravity . . . pulling you down.
The scale . . . pushing you up.
If these two forces were not equal, then there would be a net force on the bottom
of your feet, either upward or downward, and you would be accelerating.
Newer scales like digital and spring scales, measure the force your body exerts on the pad you're standing on, which is your weight. The scale then divides your weight by gravity to give you your mass.
The bathroom scale measures the force exerted by your body due to gravity, which is the force exerted by the Earth pulling you towards its center. This force is represented as your weight.
When you stand on tiptoes on a bathroom scale, there is an increase in the reading on the scale. This happens because you are effectively pushing down harder on the scale when standing on your tiptoes, increasing the force it measures.
The bathroom scale displays the force that Earth's gravity is exerting on you, which is your weight. This force is the product of your mass and the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).
The reaction force to gravity is the ground pushing back up against you with an equal force to support your weight. This is known as the normal force.

When you stand on a bathroom scale it displays the force the earth is exerting on you, which is your weight. The scale measures the gravitational force between you and the earth such that the reading you see is your actual weight in that gravitational field.

Yes, the net force is needed to stand up from a chair. When you push against the chair with a force greater than the force of gravity pulling you down, the net force becomes positive and allows you to rise. Without a net force, you would remain seated.
It would be the same as if one tug of war team was pulling against a tree.
The support force of your scale is the same as your weight, but in an upward direction. If that were not so, the scale would be deformed (dented in) under your weight.
