You weigh less when the moon is overhead because the gravitational pull from the moon resists Earth's gravitational pull slightly. But remember, your mass has not changed. Mass is the amount of matter within an object, weight is the force action upon that mass. The two are not the same.

The weight change would be extremely small though.
