Weight
It is the force (weight) against which the muscles work.
Weights can provide one form of resistance. But in terms of exercising, resistance means anything that makes you work harder. Pushing against an immovable object, such as a wall (isometric exercise) provides resistance, as does pulling against a thick rubber band (Bowflex and similar exercise machines). Even walking or running uphill can be considered resistance, as you're fighting the pull of gravity against your own body.
The type of resistance training that involves muscles to move against resistance through an entire range of motion is called Isokinetic exercise. Here's the definition from the Glencoe Health Book: Isokinetic exercise- activity that involves resistance through an entire range of motion. I hope that helped you! :)

Physical resistance is force applied against another force or inanimate object. So for example, doing push-ups is a physical resistance exercise. Leaning on your hands, placed against a wall, while standing up and bringing your body to your hands is a form of resistance exercise. Or using 'therabands' or weights creates resistance. Remember to start off slowly, with low weights or low reps, so you don't injure muscles, ligaments, or tendons.
Starting resistance on the leg press machine refers to the initial force or weight that you must push against when beginning the exercise. This resistance helps engage your muscles from the start of the movement.

A parachute slowing down a skydiver's fall by creating drag. A runner feeling resistance from the air while sprinting. A cyclist encountering air resistance when riding against a headwind.
Resistance training is a kind of strength training in which each effort is performed against an opposing force generated by resistance. Resistance exercises develop the strength and size of skeletal muscles. Resistance training can improve overall health and well-being.
