Assuming you mean kilograms (kg) not kilogram-seconds (kgs), then it depends where you are standing. Weight is the effect of gravity on a mass, the kilogram is a unit of mass, not weight, so you have to multiply by the force of gravity, which varies.

The force of gravity on earth is generally rounded to around 9.8 ms-2, on average, abbreviated as "g" for convenience. So the weight of a 110kg man on earth is roughly 1100N (the Newton, N, is the SI unit of force including weight). On the moon, it would be about 180N, and you would weigh slightly less in an aeroplane at altitude than on the ground. Astronauts are not "weightless" as such, they are in free fall: they are accelerating downwards at constant acceleration which matches their weight.

1 Newton = 0.225 lbf (pounds force), 9.78N (the weight of a 1kg mass) = 2.2 lbf approximately.

One kilogram is approximately 2.2lb avoirdupois.

So if you meant, what's 110kg in pounds force (lbf) the archaic measure of weight still used in some backward places, the answer is to multiply by 2.2, and for most purposes you can assume that one pound avoirdupois weighs one pound force at ground level.
