About 65 kg in pounds
65 kg is 143.30 lb because the international avoirdupois pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg, so a kilogram is 2.20462262 lb. Multiplying is safer than dividing: 65 × 2.20462262 = 143.30, whereas using ÷ 0.45359 adds a second rounding.
In Britain, body weight is quoted in stones and pounds on a bathroom scale but in kilograms in a clinic, so this conversion gets used twice. 65 kg is 10.2 stone, which is how it would be said aloud, and 143.30 lb is what a fitness app will show.
The common shortcut of doubling and adding 10% gives 143.0 lb for 65 kg — within 1% at this size, which is fine for a suitcase and not fine for a shipping manifest. Use the full factor wherever money or a limit depends on the answer.
65 kg is also 65,000 g and 143.30 lb, and a scale that reads in stones shows 10.2 st. The three readings describe one weight, so when a delivery note, a gym app and a customs form disagree by a pound, the difference is rounding rather than an error.
Written without units, 65 kg in pounds is 143.30, and the nearest whole pound is 143 lb. Quoting the whole number is fine for luggage and body weight; keep the decimal for a shipping document or a prescription.
