Because earth is not a full sphere..it has a shape may be of olbate spheroid..as a result gravitational acceleration is not same everywhere and the greatest variation is found in the equator and poles..where gravitational acceleration at poles is generally considered as greater than the equator...I.g(p)>g(e).
Now we know that Weight =Mass ×acceleration
Now as the gravitational acceleration is greater at the poles keeping the mass constant ..the weight is also greater....
Hope it helps..

Simple solution
gravitation force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance
distance from pole to centre is lesser than that of equator to centre
hence more force is there when distance is less
gravitational force of attraction will be higher in poles than that of equator as distance is less
acceleration due to gravity (g) is directly proportional to weight
hence more weight at poles .
